“…La mayoría de los TFSH son benignos pero algunos pueden tener un comportamiento maligno 6,15 . Los TFSH se presentan con mayor frecuencia en las mujeres (72%) 8 . La edad promedio de presentación es de 55 a 59 años pero se han reportado entre los 16 y 83 años de edad [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] .…”

“…Las manifestaciones clínicas del TFSH son inespecíficas y en general se refieren al efecto de masa que produce el tumor desplazando y comprimiendo los órganos adyacentes [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . La compresión y desplazamiento de órganos y estructuras vecinas se debe al gran tamaño que alcanzan los TFSH que miden entre 5 y 30 cm de diámetro en el momento de la presentación clínica [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . En algunos casos, incluyendo el caso del primer reporte 16 , el TSFH se presentó asociado a hipoglicemia relacionada a la producción paraneoplásica de Insulin-like Growth Factor tipo II (IGF-II) 4 .…”

“…En algunos casos, incluyendo el caso del primer reporte 16 , el TSFH se presentó asociado a hipoglicemia relacionada a la producción paraneoplásica de Insulin-like Growth Factor tipo II (IGF-II) 4 . Al examen físico es posible palpar una masa firme en la región del hipocondrio derecho o en el epigastrio [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . En este caso, el tumor no fue palpable debido a su localización por debajo del hígado y detrás del estómago.…”

“…El tumor fibroso solitario del hígado (TFSH) constituye un hallazgo tan raro que se ha publicado únicamente como reportes de caso y hasta el presente año se encontraron sólo 45 casos publicados en la literatura inglesa [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . Las manifestaciones clínicas son inespecíficas, habitualmente referidas al efecto de masa y compresión que el TFSH produce sobre los órganos vecinos [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . El diagnóstico es habitualmente incidental y en algunos casos dirigido durante el estudio radiológico de los síntomas del paciente [11][12][13][14] .…”

“…El diagnóstico es habitualmente incidental y en algunos casos dirigido durante el estudio radiológico de los síntomas del paciente [11][12][13][14] . El tratamiento consiste en la resección tumoral pero el pronóstico no se ha establecido claramente aún debido al limitado número de casos [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . El diagnóstico definitivo se establece con la inmunohistoquímica debido a que histológicamente presenta características similares a los tumores estromales y mesenquimatosos.…”

Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver caudate lobeintroduction: Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver (SFTL) constitutes such a rare finding that it has been published only as case reports and to the present date there are only 45 cases published in English medical literature. This article describes the case of a patient treated at our institution with SFTL. case report: A male 59-years-old patient was diagnosed with a SFTL incidentally found in a computed abdominal tomography taken by another causes, tumor was originating from the caudate lobe. The patient was asymptomatic. At surgery, the tumor was observed originating directly from the caudate lobe through a pedicle measuring approximately 3 cm. The tumor was resected sectioning its implantation pedicle and ligating all arterial, venous and biliary vessels. The SFTL was well encapsulated, measured 15 x 9 x 6 cm and weighted 794 g. The histological diagnosis was a SFTL and was confirmed by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibodies that reacted positively to CD34 and vimentin and negatively to CD117, S100, smooth-muscle α-actin and desmin. conclusions: SFTL is an uncommon tumor. The present case is the first reported in Chilean medical literature and presented all the habitually described radiologic, surgical and pathological characteristics.

Exceptionally large solitary fibrous tumor arising from the cheek: an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study with a review of the literature

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mass-forming soft tissue tumor that occurs most commonly in the pleura, but has been described in various extrathoracic sites. Extrapleural manifestation of SFT, particularly in the head and neck region, is rare. The most common extrapleural site is the oral cavity; these tumors have also been described in the orbit, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, salivary glands, and larynx. We report an extremely rare case of a SFT in the subcutaneous region of the cheek. This tumor in the left cheek was a large firm mass, approximately 8.5 cm × 6 cm in size and was successfully treated by surgical resection. Immunohistochemistry revealed reactivity for vimentin, CD34, and bcl-2, but no staining for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, S-100, desmin, caldesmon, actin, α-smooth muscle actin, CD117, and CD99. Immunohistochemical study is the key to establish a definitive diagnosis of SFT, and ultrastructural study is also useful for making an accurate diagnosis. The patient recovered uneventfully without evidence of tumor recurrence 2 years after surgery.

The SFTL is an uncommon neoplasm. The clinical presentation is habitually indolent and its behavior is uncertain. In some cases, the SFTL acts as an aggressive sarcoma with poor prognosis. Currently, only surgery offers a therapeutic opportunity for these patients. Due to the lack of current knowledge of long-term behavior of supposedly benign SFTLs and to the lack of specific therapies, methodical long-term follow-up is essential to ensure the survival of patients treated for SFTL.
