ABSTRACT
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare soft-tissue tumors of mesenchymal origin. Occasionally, these lesions have been indicated to associate with the salivary glands. Through the analysis of magnetic resonance imaging sequences, the present study reports a case of a solitary salivary gland lesion, demonstrating a well-circumscribed, soft-tissue tumor with marked signal changes and homogenous enhancement. SFT should be considered as a differential diagnosis when a solid mass exhibiting hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images has been detected in the salivary gland. Due to the potentially malignant nature of SFTs, it is necessary for radiologists to improve their understanding of such lesions.
