Solitary fibrous tumor in the buccal space: MR findings with pathologic correlation.
We report MR findings in a case of a solitary fibrous tumor involving the buccal space in a middle-aged man. On MR images, most of the mass was isointense and hyperintense to the muscle on T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively, and showed homogeneously strong enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. The medial peripheral portion, which was isointense on T2-weighted images and showed less enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, corresponded to the hypocellular and collagenous sclerotic area on pathologic correlation.
