“…The recommended treatment for hepatic SFT is radical removal of the tumour with clear margins of resection, with post-operative adjuvant therapy reserved for cases of incomplete resection or cases exhibiting histopathological features of malignancy ( 36 ). In the current case, radical resection was performed on the primary hepatic SFT without subsequent chemoradiotherapy in 2009.…”

Patients that present with multiple primary malignant neoplasms are increasingly encountered, but the treatment of such patients presents specific challenges and long-term survival is rare. The present study reports the case of a 45-year-old female diagnosed with three rare, distinct primary malignant neoplasms, including epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) of the brain, Ewing’s sarcoma of the lumbar 2 vertebra and a malignant solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) of the liver, at different time points. The patient underwent multidisciplinary treatment according to the diagnoses, including radial resection of all primary lesions, chemotherapy (consisting of vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide and adriamycin) and radiotherapy, to treat Ewing’s sarcoma and metastases of EHE and malignant SFT. Following these treatments, the patient survived for >14 years. Multidisciplinary treatment regimens based on surgery can lead to long-term survival of patients with multiple asynchronous rare primary malignant neoplasms. The present study reported that multidisciplinary treatment regimens based on surgery can lead to the long-term survival of patients with multiple asynchronous rare primary malignant neoplasms.

“…A hepatic SFT is often a benign neoplasm that has a good prognosis after surgery without recurrence. Most authors believe that postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy should be reserved for incomplete resections and/or pathological features of malignancy [ 25 , 26 ]. Currently, the combination of doxorubicin and ifosfamide is the standard systemic chemotherapy regimen for many subtypes of soft-tissue sarcomas.…”

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the liver are rarely described; only 38 cases have been reported in literature, most of which have shown benign clinical characteristics, and only 3 of these cases exhibited malignant variants. In this study, we present a 24-year-old woman with a 1-month history of a rapidly enlarging abdominal mass and a CT showing an exophytic heterogeneous liver mass with a firm parietal bone mass. The patient underwent a transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) before operation, and an extended right hepatectomy and craniectomy with a negative margin was performed under general anesthesia. The masses showed histological features of oval spindle cells haphazardly arranged in the classic short-storiform or so-called patternless pattern of solitary fibrous tumors. The tumor cells showed positive immunohistochemical reactions to CD34 and bcl-2. The tumor recurred in the residual liver 2 months after operation, metastatic osteoblastic lesions in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae were identified 3 months after the operation, and lumbar vertebrae metastasis 7 months after operation paralyzed the patient. The patient underwent percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEI) and chemotherapy, but the patient died because of the uncontrolled tumor 16 months after the initial operation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of malignant solitary fibrous liver tumors with skeletal metastasis.

“…This ensures an optimal surgical result even with operability risks due to the patients comorbidities. In comparison to the "traditional" basal cell carcinomas, giant basal cell carcinomas show a different clinical behavior with a tendency toward more rapid and aggressive tumor growth, with infiltration of the underlying extradermal structures (9). According to literature data, the frequency of giant basal cell carcinomas compared to other types of basal cell carcinomas does not exceed the limit of 1% (10).…”

Giant basal cell carcinoma of the scalp: rotation advancement flap as successful dermatosurgical approach

Giant keratinocyte tumors, in particular basal cell carcinomas of the scalp area, are a serious challenge for dermatosurgeons, oncologists, maxillofacial and reconstructive surgeons. The scalp area is limited in terms of skin mobility, and its elasticity decreases with age. The size of the tumors in this area and the degree of infiltration of the underlying tissues are important for the therapeutic choice - from surgical removal, waiting for granulationsto form and placing a split skin mesh graft (at a later stage), to performing complex rotational/transpositional or progressive flaps. Achieving an optimal aesthetic result is often the result of interventions carried out or based on the decisions of multidisciplinary teams. Alternatives such as radiotherapy and targeted therapy with vismodegib, for example, could be administered both preoperatively and postoperatively or as first-line therapy depending on tumor board decisions. We present a 69-year-old female patient with histopathologically proven preoperative giant basal cell carcinoma of the scalp that did not involve the tabula externa. Surgical treatment under general anesthesia was planned. A preoperative ultrasound was performed due to the repositioned area and the preservation of the feeding arteries. During the operation, the resection lines were in close proximity, but did not affect the arterial vessels. After applying the rotational advancement flap technique, under general anesthesia, an optimal cosmetic effect was achieved.
