BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumour of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare phenomenon. We present a case of the largest cervical tumour of this type in this anatomical location reported so far. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year old white female presented with abdominal pain, abnormal uterine bleedings and a 15 cm mass of the uterine cervix/left parametrium. Histological examination with immunohi...

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...

Solitary fibrous tumour is an uncommon soft tissue tumour initially described in the pleural cavity. In the past decade, it has been described in various extrapleural sites, including the abdomen. Traditionally regarded as benign, cases of histologically or clinically malignant solitary fibrous tumours are rare. This report describes such a case, although the patient is still disease free five ...

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is one of the rare tumours which arise from visceral pleura. Klemperer and Rabin first described SFT as a distinct clinical entity among primary pleural tumoUrs in 1931. Approximately 820 cases have been reported in literature to date. The management of patients with SFT is complete resection of the tumour and follow up of the patient to detect any possible late re...

Solitary fibrous tumour is a rare mesenchymal tumour of uncertain origin that occurs most frequently in the pleura, although it has also been described in extraserosal sites. The biological behaviour of the tumour is unpredictable. The case history is described of a patient diagnosed with a large symptomatic irresectable mediastinal solitary fibrous tumour who achieved a clinical, radiological ...

Solitary fibrous tumour of pleura (SFTP) is a rare tumor contributing to less than 5% of all pleural tumours and about 10% 30% of these tumours show features of malignancy. Occurrence of hypoglycaemia with solitary fibrous tumour is an unusual paraneoplastic syndrome designated as Doege-Potter syndrome which can occur both in benign and malignant tumours. Very few cases of solitary fibrous tumo...

Most pleural neoplasms are metastatic in origin. Primary tumours of the pleura are rare and categorized as diffuse or localized. Diffuse or malignant mesothelioma is more common, related to asbestos exposure, and associated with a poor prognosis. Localized or solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), of the pleura is a less common neoplasm of controversial histogenesis and is unrelated to asbestos exposur...

There have been fourteen cases of solitary fibrous tumour reported as originating from the paranasal sinuses. Here we report a case of solitary fibrous tumour that involved the right nasal cavity with extension into the oropharynx causing stertor and intermittent respiratory obtruction. Histopathology examination revealed the tumuor cells expressed CD34 turnout marker.

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare, spindle-cell, mesenchymal neoplasm with haemangiopericytoma-like branching vascular pattern. The tumour has been reported in various locations but the oral cavity is a distinctly uncommon region. We describe a case of solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) in the tongue of a 15-year-old girl. Microscopically it had features characteristic for SFT and a common imm...
