“…The outcome does not seem to be strongly related to the morphology of the tumor: even though tumors showing malignant features may behave aggressively, some tumors considered benign may recur and metastasize [ 2 ]. The prognosis of SFT is not well known, but the rate of recurrence and metastases is quite high (up to 50%) [ 10 ], occuring even years later ( ad 24 years, as reported by Rew and Allen in 1986 [ 15 ]). These tumors mainly spread haematogenously, and the lungs, liver and bone are the most common sites for metastases.…”

BackgroundSolitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm usually found in the pleura, soft tissues and visceral organs. We describe one case arising in the mesentery, which is an exceptional localization.Case presentationA 71-year-old man was referred to our establishment for a painless hypogastric mass. Further investigation revealed a vascular tumor, which was resected en bloc. Pathological findings confirmed solitary fibrous tumor of the mesentery.ConclusionThis is the second case of solitary fibrous tumor of the small intestine mesentery ever reported. It was managed by en bloc resection and close follow up considering the high risk of recurrence. Investigation should be made regarding the use of adjuvant systemic therapy to improve long-term survival for these patients.
