Solitary Fibrous Tumors and So-Called Hemangiopericytoma

چکیده
We have reviewed the literature data regarding the spectrum of tumors including solitary fibrous tumor and hemangiopericytoma with special focus on definition of the disease, discussion of the criteria for malignancy, and the key elements of standard treatment of localized disease. We have discussed the emerging concepts on the tumor biology and the different systemic treatments (chemotherapy and molecular-targeted therapies).

About 300 such cases have been reported since 1942, when Stout and Murray described these tumors as "vascular tumors arising from Zimmerman's pericytes". Under the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, hemangiopericytomas and solitary fibrous tumors of the soft tissues are regarded as feat...
متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumor of the anterior mediastinum: a rare extrapleural neoplasm.
Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon spindle cell neoplasms originally thought to be restricted to the pleura. We describe a 62-year-old woman who presented with stridor and an anterior mediastinal mass. At thoracotomy, a 10.5 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm, circumscribed, firm mediastinal mass demonstrated no direct cardiac or pulmonary involvement. The tumor consisted of spindle cells organized in a patternl...
