Chiu CC, Ishibashi H, Wakama S, Liu Y, Hao Y, Hung CM, Lee PH, Rau KM, Lee HM, Yonemura Y. Mesentery solitary fibrous tumor with postoperative recurrence and sarcomatosis: A case report and review of literature. World J Clin Oncol 2022; 13:303-313. [PMID: 35582654 PMCID: PMC9052071 DOI: 10.5306/wjco.v13.i4.303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. They are often of low malignant potential and rarely metastasize. They frequently arise from the pleura and can occur at any soft tissue site in the body. However, these tumors rarely develop in the mesentery, peritoneal cavity or peritoneum.
CASE SUMMARY We report on a scarce case of solitary fibrous tumor of the rectal mesentery showing sarcomatosis about 4 years after previous tumor resection. This 69-year-old male had no clinical symptoms but was transferred to our hospital because of a suspected tumor recurrence from follow-up abdominal computed tomography. Tumor markers (CEA, CA 19-9 and CA 125) were within the normal range. Open laparotomy showed sarcomatosis, and pathology confirmed its mesenchymal origin and diagnosis as the solitary fibrous tumor. Our case may be the second recurrent mesentery solitary fibrous tumor reported to date, and the only one with progression to sarcomatosis. There has been no evidence of recurrence in follow-up at the 28th mo after extensive intra-operative peritoneal lavage and cytoreductive surgery.
CONCLUSION Although there are few risk factors of cancer recurrence in this patient, careful long-term follow-up after cytoreductive surgery is necessary.

Abstract
Background Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating from the tissue underlying the mesothelial layer of the pleura or mediastinum. Other reported sites include the upper respiratory tract, orbit, thyroid, peritoneum, and central nervous system. Case presentation We describe a case of a 7 cm SFT that originated in the cystic plate. A liver tumor was an incidental finding in a 49-year-old woman during a regular radiological checkup for uterine fibroids. Imaging revealed a well-circumscribed solid mass between the gallbladder and liver. Intraoperative laparoscopy identified a soft tumor that had progressively expanded behind the gallbladder which was easily separated from the Laennec’s capsule of the liver. Hematoxylin and Eosin and immunohistochemical staining of the tumor tissue found both tangled and patterned arrangements of spindle cells consistent with a SFT derived from the subserosal layer of the gallbladder. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a SFT originating in the cystic plate.

[PMID: 30655864 PMCID: PMC6312964 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2018.9693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2018] [Accepted: 09/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. Ex situ hepatectomy and liver autotransplantation are novel methods for the treatment of complicated liver tumors, for example, those involving vascular structures, including the inferior vena cava, which are unresectable by conventional approaches. The present study describes a rare case of a massive hepatic SFT in a 32-year-old female who underwent ex situ hepatectomy and liver autotransplantation to achieve a radical resection. The surgery was without complications. Post-operative histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed an SFT of the liver. The patient was discharged 29 days after the surgery with fully recovered liver function. The routine check-up 3 months after surgery indicated normal liver function and no evidence of recurrence. Additionally, an exhaustive review of available literature was performed to provide a complete overview of the current status of SFTs. In summary, the present study found that ex situ hepatectomy and liver autotransplantation are suitable surgical techniques for treating a giant SFT, as well as other liver neoplasms that are considered unresectable by conventional surgery.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the liver is a rare entity and its presentation is usually delayed till they grow to a substantial size. Clinico-radiological features are non-specific, contributing to increase in the diagnostic dilemma. Definitive diagnosis of SFT is usually made based on the histological features and immunohistochemistry data of the resected specimen. In this case report, we describe the case of an elderly male who presented with a large mass in the left lobe of the liver with normal level of tumor markers and atypical radiological findings. The patient successfully underwent resection of the tumor and the diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. Given its origin, it can appear in almost any location. In the literature, only 50 cases of SFT in the liver parenchyma have been reported. Despite its rarity, this entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of liver masses. We report the first case with imaging data from five years prior to diagnosis, which was treated by right portal embolization and arterial tumor embolization, and subsequent liver resection. We also present an exhaustive review of the cases described to date.

Abstract
Background Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) are neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that predominantly arise from the pleura. SFT of the liver (SFTL) are a rare occurrence with little number of cases reported in English literature. Malignant cases of hepatic SFT are an even rarer occurrence. For this reason, the prognostic evaluation of SFTLs is unknown and difficult to measure. Methods A search on English literature on “Solitary Fibrous Tumour of the Liver” was conducted on common search engines (PubMed, Google). All published articles, case reports and literature reviews and their reference lists were reviewed. Case report This paper presents a 61-year-old male who was referred to a tertiary hospital in April 2010 with marked hepatomegaly. USS, CT and MRI scans were suggestive of a neoplasm, and the patient underwent a subsegmental IVb resection in June 2010. The specimen demonstrated histological and immunohistochemical features of malignant SFTL with clear resection margins. The patient was followed up regularly for 3 years with imaging and no suggestion of recurrence. Six years after the initial surgery, the patient represented with worsening right upper quadrant pain and dyspnoea secondary to extensive tumour recurrence adjacent to the resection site and metastatic deposits in the pleura. The patient was managed symptomatically and discharged for community follow-up after palliative involvement. Conclusions SFTL are rare with only 84 cases reported in the English Literature including the present case. The average age of patients is 57.1 and occurs in females more than males (1.4:1). Most SFTLs follow a benign course, however, 17.9% of cases displayed malignant histological features. Only three cases including the current case are reported to have both local recurrence and metastasis. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment and appears to be curative of most cases. The rarity of this tumour makes it difficult to evaluate its prognosis and natural course.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumors of the liver (SFTL) are uncommon tumors; to the present day, less than 50 cases has been reported in the English scientific literature, most of which behaved as benign tumors. The present article reports a new case of SFTL and has the main purpose of updating the current knowledge of SFTL because due to its rarity, its clinical presentation, study, treatment, and prognosis are not well known. The clinical presentation, radiologic study, surgical treatment, immunohistochemical study, and prognosis are updated and comprehensively discussed. METHODS Using the common search engines, a search of the English literature was conducted for "Solitary Fibrous Tumor of The Liver," and the relevant articles were retrieved, reviewed, and analyzed. RESULTS All published articles reported anecdotal SFTLs, or SFTLs were included in large series analyzing solitary fibrous tumors on different sites. CONCLUSION 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary hepatic solitary fibrous tumor is a rare neoplasm that originates in the submesothelial tissue of the liver and is frequently misdiagnosed because of its rarity and unfamiliar characteristics. AIM To analyze, summarize and update the clinical and pathological features of primary hepatic solitary fibrous tumor. METHODS We systematically extract the clinical data of 4 cases from the relevant medical records, analyze the macroscopic, histological and immunohistochemical features and review the 59 previously reported cases in the English literatures. RESULTS The patients' mean age 50.75 years (range, 49-52 years), and the gender ratio was 1:1. The tumors ranged in size from 2.3 to 12.0cm (average diameter, 7.85cm). The tumors were composed of spindle cells with oval, fusiform or banded nuclei that were arranged in bundled, storiform or peculiar random patterns. Mitosis and hemangiopericytoma-like vessels were occasionally observed. Immunohistochemically, three cases were positive for Signal transduction and activator of transcription 6, cluster of differentiation 34, B-cell lymphoma-2 and vimentin but were negative for nervous, muscular and hepatocellular markers. Hepatic lobectomy was performed in all cases, and one patient received adjuvant chemotherapy simultaneously. One patient suffered two recurrences without metastasis, and the remaining patients experienced favorable outcomes. CONCLUSIONS A consensus on the essential and definite diagnostic criteria for primary hepatic solitary fibrous tumor must be reached in a timely manner. Signal transduction and activator of transcription 6 is a highly sensitive and specific immunohistochemical marker for primary hepatic solitary fibrous tumor.

Abstract
Hepatic solitary fibrous tumor (HSFT) is a very rare benign liver tumor without well-defined findings on imaging. Even with multiphase advanced contrast-enhanced liver imaging, a definitive preoperative diagnosis is impossible. The diagnostic process can be further complicated when there are two concurrent lesions with different radiologic appearances. Here, we compare the findings of a commonly encountered liver lesion, hepatic hemangioma, with those of an exceedingly rare lesion, HSFT.

Abstract
Mesenchymal hamartomas of the liver (MHLs) in adults are rare and potentially premalignant lesions, which present as solid/cystic neoplasms. We report a rare case of orthotopic liver transplantation in a patient with a giant MHL. In 2013, a 34-year-old female sought medical advice after a 2-year history of progressive abdominal distention and respiratory distress. Physical examination revealed an extensive mass in the abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) of her abdomen revealed multiple liver cysts, with the diameter of largest cyst being 16 cm × 14 cm. The liver hilar structures were not clearly displayed. The adjacent organs were compressed and displaced. Initial laboratory tests, including biochemical investigations and coagulation profile, were unremarkable. Tumor markers, including levels of AFP, CEA and CA19-9, were within the normal ranges. The patient underwent orthotopic liver transplantation in November 2013, the liver being procured from a 40-year-old man after cardiac death following traumatic brain injury. Warm ischemic time was 7.5 min and cold ischemic time was 3 h. The recipient underwent classical orthotopic liver transplantation. The recipient operative procedure took 8.5 h, the anhepatic phase lasting for 1 h without the use of venovenous bypass. The immunosuppressive regimen included intraoperative induction with basiliximab and high-dose methylprednisolone, and postoperative maintenance with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone. The recipient's diseased liver weighed 21 kg (dry weight) and measured 41 cm × 32 cm × 31 cm. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an MHL. The patient did not experience any acute rejection episode or other complication. All the laboratory tests returned to normal within one month after surgery. Three months after transplantation, the immunosuppressive therapy was reduced to tacrolimus monotherapy, and the T-tube was removed after cholangiography showed no abnormalities. Twelve months after transplantation, the patient remains well and is fulfilling all normal activities. Adult giant MHL is extremely rare. Symptoms, physical signs, laboratory results, and radiographic imaging are nonspecific and inconclusive. Surgical excision of the lesion is imperative to make a definite diagnosis and as a cure. Liver transplantation should be considered as an option in the treatment of a non-resectable MHL.

Abstract
Virtual slides The virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/1603694556107408. Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a spindle cell neoplasm that rarely occurs in the kidney. Malignant SFT of the kidney is particularly rare. Here, we report a 66-year old woman with a right flank mass that has been proved clinically and radiographically. Grossly, the largest diameter of the mass were measured up to 23 cm, was poorly circumscribed. Approximately 80% of the neoplasm consisted of hyperchromatic and pleomorphic spindled cells surrounding staghornlike blood vessels. Tumor cells frequently had mitoses and necrosis. However, the remainder of the mass was composed of haphazard, storiform or short fascicular arrangements of spindle cells in a loose myxoid to fibrous stroma. Immunohistochemically, we observed diffusely strong CD34 staining and an 85% Ki-67 proliferative index. The tumor partly showed negative CD34 and a 20% proliferative index. To our knowledge, this is the largest malignant renal SFT in the reported literatures and shows an obviously high proliferative index.
