calcifying fibrous tumor (cft) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. cft of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric cfts reported in english literature. this benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

conclusions this is the first case of sft of the retroperitoneum removed laparoscopically. the laparoscopic approach is useful for the advantages of minimally invasive surgery especially in case of peduncolate tumor as the case reported. case presentation a 29-year-old female, was admitted in the gynaecology and obstetrics unit, for suspected pelvic tumor. ct scan showed a mass with hypervascul...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura is a rare an unknown cause and corresponds to 5% all pleural tumors. It generally asymptomatic discovered incidentally through imaging exams. The definitive diagnosis based on histopathological findings treatment surgical. This paper describes case previously healthy female patient with mass at base left lung.

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors of the middle mediastinal space are uncommon and often not discovered until symptoms secondary to compression of adjacent structures occur. Diagnosis requires surgical biopsy and histological tissue analysis. We describe the ECHO appearance of the solitary fibrous tumor and successful non-invasive EBUS diagnosis. This method of diagnosis allowed for surgical p...

BACKGROUND A solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is a rare but usually benign mesenchymal tumor arising from the pleura. Patients are often asymptomatic, resulting in the majority of tumors being detected incidentally on chest imaging. We present a case of a large solitary pleural tumor and review the typical radiographic and pathologic findings associated with this finding. CASE REPORT A 63...
