چکیده

We herein describe the case of a 51-year-old male who presented with a mass of the epigastric region. Preoperative contrast enhanced abdominal computerized tomography revealed a solid mass between the left liver lobe and stomach. Histopathologic examination diagnosed the mass as a solitary fibrous tumor. Although solitary fibrous tumors are rare, especially in the abdomen of adults, they are generally benign, but malignant cases have also been reported. Long-term follow-up will be necessary to determine whether the surgery has been curative.
