Solitary fibrous tumour of the oral cavity with histological features of aggressiveness

We operated on a 65-year-old woman and removed a solitary fibrous tumour from her oral mucosa. Microscopically we found marked atypia, abundant necrosis, increased number of mitotic figures (>4 in 10 high-power fields) and hypercellularity. The tumour cells were strongly stained for CD34. There has been no recurrence after 18 months.
