Although SFT most commonly occurs in the pleura, several extra pleural sites of involvement have been reported.

This report describes the case of a 44-year-old male patient who had unusual presentation of SFT in the anterior midline hard palate describing the morphology, histopathology, radiology management plan as well as follow up and literature review.
