Preauricular solitary fibrous tumor: A case report of uncommon neoplasm arising from the facial region
We describe an extremely rare case of SFT in the left preauricular region. The tumor lesion had gradually grown without pain or facial paralysis. Magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a circumscribed mass with high signal intensity on Gd-DTPA-enhanced T1-weighted images measuring approximately 3.0 cm in diameter. The tumor lesion was excised completely. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed proliferation of spindle tumor cells with a patternless pattern. Various amounts of collagen bundles intervened in the spindle tumor cells. The cellular atypia of the tumor cells was weak. Immunohistochemical studi...

A case of giant cell arteritis with jaw claudication and trismus treated with early steroid therapy
We present a case of GCA in a patient who presented with jaw claudication and occlusal pain. A 78-year-old man visited our department with left-sided facial pain associated with mastication.
