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 of this tumor. currently,...

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...

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare, mesenchymal neoplasm that has been reported in numerous sites. Occurrence in the parotid gland is exceedingly rare.   Case Report: A 53-year-old man with a 2 cm solitary fibrous tumor of the left parotid gland, that was observed clinically and operatively and thought to be a neoplasm arising from Stensen's duct, is described. A pre-operative CT sc...

solitary fibrous tumors (sfts) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. in this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on chest x-ray is presented.

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...

herein, we report the f-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) positron emission tomography (pet)/computed tomography (ct) findings of a benign solitary fibrous tumor (sft) of the kidney. the patient was a 63-year-old woman with a mass in the right kidney (10×9.7 cm), incidentally found on ct images. the ct scan showed a lobulated tumor arising from the hilum of the right kidney. the tumor consisted o...

  Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. In this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on Chest X-Ray is presented.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a quite uncommon tumor that commonly occurs in the pleura but occasionally involves an oral cavity. We are reporting this rare case in the oral cavity. The diagnosis depends on microscopic and immunohistochemical features. Patients with these tumors can be carefully treated with local excision, but tumors with...
