“…Patients with intra-abdominal SFT most commonly present with a palpable abdominal mass and may complain of vomiting, abdominal pain, or weight loss. However, incidental SFTs, as in the present case, are small tumors that are typically asymptomatic 4-9. The differential diagnosis of gastric SFT includes gastrointestinal stromal tumor, calcifying fibrous tumor, fibromatosis, schwannoma, leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, fibrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, hemangiopericytoma, synovial sarcoma, and malignant mesenchymoma 2-4…”

“…The tendency of metastatic disease was shown to be higher in patients with extrathoracic SFT than those with thoracic SFT 13. Various sites of metastasis have been described in the literature, including lungs, mediastinum, liver, bone, pancreas, kidney, mesentery, and retroperitoneum 9-13. Generally, malignant SFTs have a poor prognosis 11-13.…”

“…A solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare, slow-growing, mesenchymal neoplasm arising from the pleura, which is unrelated to asbestos exposure or cigarette smoking ( 1 ) and was initially described in 1931 ( 2 ). Over the past 80 years, SFTs have been identified in numerous extrapleural locations, including the nasal cavity ( 3 ), breast ( 4 ), stomach ( 5 ), bronchus ( 6 ), head and neck ( 7 ), liver ( 8 ), oesophagus ( 9 ), pelvic ( 10 ), pancreas ( 11 ), prostate ( 12 ), orbit ( 13 ), central nervous system ( 14 ), parotid gland ( 15 ), kidney ( 16 ), lung ( 17 ), sella turcica ( 18 ), heart ( 19 ), conus medullaris ( 20 ), omentum ( 21 ), infratemporal fossa ( 22 ), bladder ( 23 ), soft tissues of the extremities ( 24 ), palatine tonsil ( 25 ), diaphragm ( 26 ), mesentery ( 27 ), lumbar spine ( 28 ), thymus ( 29 ), oral cavity ( 30 ), spermatic cord ( 31 ), thyroid ( 32 ), rectum ( 33 ), salivary glands ( 34 ), retroperitoneum ( 35 ), larynx ( 36 ), trachea ( 37 ), adrenal gland ( 38 ), female genital tract ( 39 ), periosteum of bone ( 40 ), mediastinum ( 41 ) and hypopharynx ( 42 ).…”

Primary intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumours

Due to the extreme rarity of primary intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs), their clinical course, imaging characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are poorly understood. The present study therefore assessed the diagnosis and management of primary intrapulmonary SFTs and systematically reviewed previously reported cases in the literature. A total of 5 patients who underwent resection for primary intrapulmonary SFTs were enrolled in the present study and their clinical course, tumour characteristics, management and survival were assessed in this retrospective study. Relevant studies regarding primary intrapulmonary SFTs were searched using PubMed and tumour characteristics, clinicopathologic features, therapeutic strategy and survival outcomes were reviewed. Of the 5 cases, all were males, with a mean age of 57.6 years (range, 37–68 years). All patients were asymptomatic and were identified incidentally on routine computed tomography examination. A total of 3 patients underwent thoracotomy and 2 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. All tumours were completely resected. Postoperative haemorrhage occurred in 1 patient and he received surgical intervention for haemostasis. The average hospital stay was 15 (4–22) days, and no mortality occurred. The mean length of the postoperative follow-up was 37.6 (1–67) months. One patient was lost to follow-up, and 4 patients were asymptomatic. A total of 19 studies were identified from database searches. They included a total of 45 patients: Twenty-three males and 22 females (mean age, 59.4 years; range, 7–81 years). A total of 12 patients were asymptomatic, and pain and coughing were the major symptoms. Five, one, two, four, and 17 tumours occurred in the right upper lobe, right middle lobe, right lower lobe, left upper lobe and left lower lobe, respectively. A total of 39 patients underwent surgery, 1 patient underwent radiotherapy, and 1 patient underwent radiofrequency ablation. A total of 22 patients were followed up and the mean length of the postoperative follow-up was 48 (1–168) months. One patient was diagnosed with chest wall metastases, and 5 patients succumbed to mortality. To conclude, primary intrapulmonary SFTs are extremely rare and typically identified incidentally. The present findings indicated that the left lower lobe was the most common site location and complete surgical resection is a safe and effective treatment.

Diagnostic Cytopathology

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor initially described in the pleura. When the tumor is located in the pleura and the classic histologic findings are present, the diagnosis of SFT can be straightforward. However, the cytologic diagnosis of perigastric SFT can be challenging due its rarity with only one cytology case report. Another confounding factor is its potential mimicry with other perigastric/gastric mesenchymal tumors. Herein, we report a case of perigastric SFT diagnosed on cytology in conjunction with immunohistochemical stains. The patient is a 79-year-old woman who presented with an enlarging perigastric mass on computerized tomography scan which was highly concerning for a saccular aneurysm. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) revealed a 6.6 cm hypoechoic lesion abutting the stomach. An EUSguided fine needle aspiration was performed. The smears showed singly scattered to clusters of bland spindle cells with scant cytoplasm dispersed in a bloody background. The cell block showed similar spindle cells focally supported by a collagenized stroma. Immunohistochemical stains performed on the cell block showed the tumor cells were positive for CD34, BCL2, and STAT6 and negative for CD117, DOG1, CD31, ERG-ENDO, AE1/AE3, S-100, desmin, and synaptophysin, supporting the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor.

Rare solitary fibrous tumor of the stomach: A case report

Abstract: Considering that benign solitary fibrous tumors of extrathoracic localizations are extremely rare neoplasms with unpredictable biological behavior and the possibility of recurrence, a long-term clinical and endoscopic follow-up on yearly basis of patients with this disease is recommended.
