      <Abstract>The solitary fibrous tumor is a rare mesenchymal tumor. It is preferentially located at pleura. Extra-thoracic localization is rare. In soft tissue, solitary fibrous tumor accounts for approximately 0.6% of tumors. The sino-nasal localization is very rare. Histologically, the tumor is made of a dense proliferation of fusiform cells. The immune-histochemical study of solitary fibrous tumor classically shows a diffuse expression of vimentin and CD34. Intense and diffuse nuclear staining of STAT-6 is highly characteristic of this tumor. The treatment of choice is the complete surgical resection.&#13;

Case Report 1: A 39-year-old woman presented with a tumefaction of the left thigh, measuring 13 centimeters in diameter. A chest, abdomen and pelvis computed tomography (C.A.P. CT) showed a mass measuring 20 cm, located in the left psoas muscle, with extension to the pelvis, and pulmonary metastases. Histopathological analysis of the specimen was consistent with malignant solitary fibrous tumor.&#13;
&#13;
Case Report 2: A 80-year-old man presented with a mass of the right nasal cavity. Cranio-facial MRI showed the presence of a tumor of the right nasal cavity with intracranial extension. Histopathological analysis of the specimen was consistent with malignant solitary fibrous tumor.</Abstract>
