Myxoid Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Retroperitoneum: MRI Findings with the Pathologic Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here on a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the retroperitoneum, and the tumor displayed a predominantly myxoid histology. A 56-year-old man presented with an incidentally detected retroperitoneal mass. On the MR images, the mass was observed as having iso-signal intensity on the T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on the fat-saturated T2-weighted images. The mass showed intense enhancement on the Gd-DTPA enhanced T1-weighted images. At surgery, a well-defined solid mass was found in the left retroperitoneum. The histological diagnosis was made as solitary fibrous tumor with a predominantly myxoid histology.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal cell origin that usually occur in the pleura, but the presence of these tumors are currently reported in a variety of extrapleural sites, including retroperitoneum (1-6). Because of the rarity of SFTs, information on the imaging features is sparse, and the radiologic features of SFT occurred in the ischiorectal fossa have been rarely reported. In th...

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) of the nose and paranasal sinuses are extremely rare.These were originally described as neoplasms of the pleura originating from spindle cells. It is further sub-classified as a benign type of mesothelial tumour. Its occurrence in many extra pleural sites have been reported earlier, mainly in the liver, parapharyngeal space, sublingual glands, tongu...

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor which is most commonly seen in the pleura; however it can be seen in other organs such as the meninge, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue, bone, and skin. SFT should be differentiated from other mesenchymal tumors in these organs. Immunohistochemistry plays a pivotal role for the histopathologic diagnosis...
