Abstract
We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid gland in a 51βyearβold man with preβexisting right recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis from a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula repair as an infant. The left thyroid lobe was enlarged and soft. Fine needle aspiration biopsy via ultrasound guidance demonstrated a hypercellular aspirate composed of spindle cells with bland nuclear morphology. Given this histomorphology and immunohistochemical profile, the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor was considered and confirmed following left thyroid lobectomy. Laryngoscope, 2009

Background. Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare neoplasm whose histologic diagnosis poses significant problems in differential diagnosis. Although most of these neoplasms arise at the level of the pleura, there have also been reports of extrapleural origins. The most frequent localization in the
A study of 169 oxyphil tumours of the thyroid, correlating histological features with age, sex, thyroiditis, and available clinical history, has shown two significant findings relevant to pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. Oxyphil tumours with a papillary architecture can be divided into papill
