[Solitary fibrous tumor of the scalp: a case report].
The solitary fibrous tumor is a rare tumor, ubiquitous, mesenchymatous essentially affecting serosal surfaces. The location in the scalp is exceptional. We report a case of tumor in left occipital scalp discovered after recurrence of a tumor initially taken for a lipoma. The motive for consultation was mainly aesthetic. The pathological examination is the main element of diagnosis. The assumption is based on a large lumpectomy and an extended and regular clinical monitoring. The forecast is favourable with a decline of one year. However, relapses may occur in the long-term and there are malignant forms.
