Abstract
RATIONALE Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, especially the giant one from the abdominal pelvic cavity. We report on a rare case of a giant SFT of the abdominal pelvic cavity to review the existing literature in detail to improve the diagnosis and treatment of SFT. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient is a 52-year-old female who presented with 2 weeks of abdominal distension. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a giant mass (>20 cm) in the abdominal pelvic cavity, considered a mesenchymal tumor. She denies a history of tumor disease. DIAGNOSES A whole abdomen bulge and a mass of about 18 cm × 10 cm on the right side and middle side were found in the physical examination after admission. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant cystic-solid mass located on the middle and right side of the abdominal pelvic cavity, measuring approximately 20.4 cm × 11.7 cm, with multiple cystic changes and necrosis and compression of adjacent organs and tissues, and marked inhomogeneous enhancement. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent an open abdominal pelvic cavity giant tumor operation to achieve a radical resection, and did not undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. OUTCOMES The patient underwent open complete resection of a giant abdominal pelvic tumor with no complications and was diagnosed as SFT according to the pathology, immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor tested positive for CD34(+), STAT-6(+), and Ki-67 (10%). Abdominal computed tomography scans were performed 6 months after resection, and no signs of recurrence or metastasis were found. LESSONS The clinical symptoms and imaging features of giant abdominal pelvic cavity SFT are not typical. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and has the potential for malignancy. Based on the results of the current study, there is no standard treatment strategy around the world and the therapeutic effect of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is relatively limited. Thus, complete surgical resection and close clinical follow-up are advocated.

A Case of Hepatic Malignant Solitary Fibrous Tumor: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. Case Rep Pathol 2023; 2023:2271690. [PMID: 36817074 PMCID: PMC9935885 DOI: 10.1155/2023/2271690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
A 73-year-old man with a history of atrial myxoma and basal cell carcinoma presented with unexplained fever. Contrast-enhanced CT abdomen showed a large left hepatic lobe mass with early enhancement and delayed venous washout, concerning for hepatocellular carcinoma. Fine needle aspiration showed numerous spindle cells with malignant nuclear features, suggestive of malignant spindle cell neoplasm. The patient underwent left hepatectomy. The surgical specimen showed a well-circumscribe solid mass (14.6 × 13.0 × 10.0 cm) with necrosis. Histopathological examination revealed a proliferation of spindle tumor cells with characteristic staghorn-shaped blood vessels, frequent mitoses, and necrosis. The tumor cells showed strong and diffuse expression of CD34 and STAT6, confirming the diagnosis of malignant solitary fibrous tumor. Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare fibroblastic tumor characterized by a staghorn vasculature and NAB2-STAT6 gene rearrangement. Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver is a rare occurrence. Although most solitary fibrous tumors behave in a benign fashion, solitary fibrous tumors might act aggressively. This case is unique in that it demonstrates an excellent correlation between radiologic, macroscopic, and microscopic features which can contribute to the improvement of radiologic and pathologic diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are composed of spindle cells and collagen fibers, and these form rare mesenchymal tumors. SFTs are most frequently observed in intrathoracic sites; however, they may also occur in extrathoracic sites, such as the liver. Unlike the hepatic SFTs (HSFTs) reported in the literature, the SFT detailed in the present case report was a large tumor that originated from the liver, with a dumbbell-shaped growth through the diaphragm into the right thoracic cavity. This posed substantial challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. Thus, the present report outlines the findings of a multidisciplinary team meeting that was used to discuss and develop an optimal and personalized treatment strategy for the patient. Transhepatic arterial embolization was performed to block the major arterial blood supply to the tumor in order to reduce its size. Subsequently, the tumor was fully resected, following the collaboration of the experienced hepatobiliary and thoracic surgeons. Following surgery, the abdominal distension experienced by the patient ceased, and no tumor recurrence was detected at the 1-year follow-up. In conclusion, due to limited previous reports of HSFT treatment using multidisciplinary collaboration, the present study outlined the treatment used for this specific tumor type, and the corresponding literature was reviewed.

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.

Solitary extrapleural fibrous tumor with hepatic bilobar metastases: multimodal approach treatment. Clin Sarcoma Res 2020; 10:23. [PMID: 33292480 PMCID: PMC7672888 DOI: 10.1186/s13569-020-00146-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Solitary fibrous tumor is an unusual fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm typically described in the pleura. It may appear anywhere with a varied anatomic distribution and essentially it can develop from any soft tissue or visceral location. Its course is usually indolent and it rarely causes distant metastases, so it has a prolonged survival rate. It sometimes presents itself as a disseminate disease being the liver the most frequently involved location. In these occasions, the management should be discussed in a multidisciplinary tumor committee formed by surgeons, oncologists and radiologists. Surgery remains the gold standard for treatment. Case representation We present the case of a woman with a tumor in the left abdominal wall and bilobar massive liver metastases, both locations histologically diagnosed as solitary fibrous tumor. She receives biological treatment for a severe case of Crohn´s disease. Evaluated in a multidisciplinary committee, surgery was recommended for both the primary lesion and the liver metastases. The hepatobiliary surgeons considered a two-stage hepatectomy with portal vein embolization (PVE) as the best strategy. After the first procedure consisting in cleaning the left hepatic lobe followed by PVE the future liver remnant volume (FLRV) was considered inadequate, so the patient was also treated with right transarterial radioembolizacion with yttrium 90 (TARE-Y90) intending a double goal: to treat the tumor and to increased the FLRV. Furthermore, a severe flare of Crohn´s disease forced us to intensify the patient’s treatment with the addition of biological agents (infliximab and adalimumab) until complete remission of the symptoms. The second stage of the liver surgery had to be postponed for more than 6 months and could finally be carried out without complications, achieving an R0 resection. The postoperative course was uneventful and the follow up has showed no recurrence to date. Conclusion Solitary fibrous tumours with extensive liver metastases are infrequent but when they appear modern surgical strategies like two stage hepatectomy are the treatment of choice and must be carried out by specialised units. The therapeutic decisions should be guided by a multidisciplinary committee.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors/hemangiopericytomas (SFTs/HPCs) are rare in the central nervous system and intraventricular SFTs/HPCs are even rarer. We present a clinical case of SFT/HPC that was located in the fourth ventricle and performed a literature review of radiological findings of SFT/HPC. The patient was a 52-year-old man who presented to our hospital with dizziness and progressive weakness in his left extremities. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregular-shaped mass in the fourth ventricle. The upper anterior and lower posterior parts of the mass showed different densities and signal intensities, which formed a black and white sign. The upper anterior and lower posterior parts of the mass were enhanced to different degrees, and showed heterogeneous reversed enhancement. The patient underwent surgical resection and the mass was histologically confirmed to be an SFT/HPC. SFTs/HPCs of the fourth ventricle are rare, but show characteristic radiological presentations. In the present case, we observed a solid mass with flow voids, black and white sign, and heterogeneously reversed enhancement in the fourth ventricle. Collectively, these radiological features suggested the diagnosis of SFT/HPC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver (SFTL) is a rare occurrence with a low number of cases reported in literature. SFTL is usually benign but, 10%-20% cases are reported to be malignant with a tendency to metastasize. The majority of malignant SFTL cases are associated with a paraneoplastic hypoglycaemia defined as Doege-Potter syndrome. Surgery is the best therapeutic treatment, however, long- life follow-up is recommended.
CASE SUMMARY A 74-year-old man, was admitted to the emergency department after a syncopal episode with detection of hypoglycaemia resistant to medical treatment. The computed tomography revealed a solid mass measuring 15 cm of the left liver. An open left hepatectomy was performed with complete resection of tumor. Histopathological analyses confirmed a malignant SFTL.
CONCLUSION Large series with long-term follow-up have not been published neither have clinical trials been undertaken. Consequently, the methodical long-term follow-up of surgically treated SFTLs is strongly recommended.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. Due to the rarity of malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the liver, information regarding the disease is currently limited. We present herein a case of malignant liver SFT in a 17-year-old female, who was misdiagnosed with hepatoblastoma preoperatively. CASE REPORT A 17-year-old female who was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma preoperatively The patient presented with pain in the upper abdomen and an abdominal mass. Tumor markers were normal and imaging findings were atypical. The tumor was successfully removed by surgery. Postoperative pathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed malignant solitary fibrous tumor. The patient recovered uneventfully and is disease-free without recurrence at the time of this report (14 months post-surgery). CONCLUSION SFT originates in the liver and is a rare tumor. Differential diagnosis should be considered for liver lesions with atypical imaging findings. More data are needed to understand the disease's long-term outcome and identify clinical and radiologic features that can be useful for its diagnosis. The best choice for treatment is complete surgical resection, and definitive diagnosis based on histologic and immunohistochemical characteristics. Tumor biology is unclear, and long-term follow-up of SFT patients is critical.

Abstract
Doege–Potter syndrome with acromegaloid facial changes is extremely rare. Uncooked cornstarch along with glucocorticoids have been used as supportive care in patients with non–islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH). Preoperative embolization of hepatic solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) with NICTH has yielded unsatisfactory results. Herein we present the case of a 61-year-old man with a 3-month history of severe frequent hypoglycemic episodes and acromegaloid facial changes. During a spontaneous hypoglycemia (26 mg/dL), laboratory values showed a hypoinsulinemic pattern with low levels of GH, IGFPB3, and an IGF2/IGF1 ratio of 8.5:1. Cross-sectional imaging revealed a large (16 × 13 × 11 cm) hepatic tumor, and cytology was consistent with SFT. A preoperative right portal embolization was performed in an effort to induce normal remnant liver hypertrophy to allow for safe tumor resection. After the procedure, uncooked starch treatment followed by prednisone was started, achieving complete remission of hypoglycemic episodes in the preoperative setting. He subsequently underwent partial hepatectomy. The histologic diagnosis was compatible with a potentially malignant SFT. The patient had an excellent outcome with complete remission of hypoglycemia, improvement of facial acromegaloid changes, and no further evidence of disease. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient with Doege–Potter syndrome with acromegaloid facial changes induced by a potentially malignant liver SFT, treated successfully with a multimodal approach consisting of uncooked cornstarch, low-dose prednisone, preoperative embolization, and complete surgical resection. The use of cornstarch and low-dose glucocorticoids may be an adequate treatment in advance of undergoing surgery.

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
Editor's Note.-RadioGraphics continues to publish radiologic-pathologic case material selected from the American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP) "best case" presentations. The AIRP conducts a 4-week Radiologic Pathology Correlation Course, which is offered five times per year. On the penultimate day of the course, the best case presentation is held at the American Film Institute Silver Theater and Cultural Center in Silver Spring, Md. The AIRP faculty identifies the best cases, from each organ system, brought by the resident attendees. One or more of the best cases from each of the five courses are then solicited for publication in RadioGraphics. These cases emphasize the importance of radiologic-pathologic correlation in the imaging evaluation and diagnosis of diseases encountered at the institute and its predecessor, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP).

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
Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm, presenting most commonly in the intrathoracic sites but which has been reported at numerous extrathoracic locations. The majority of intra-thoracic SFTs are benign, but 10%-15% behave aggressively. We report a case of primary hepatic SFT with histologically benign and malignant areas. A 65-year-old man underwent an abdominal CT scan following a cerebrovascular accident, which demonstrated a sharply demarcated large liver mass with a heterogenous enhancing area and occupying most of the left lobe of the liver. Histological examination following a hemihepatectomy showed an SFT with morphological patterns ranging from benign to malignant areas, including pleomorphism, increased cellularity, herringbone pattern, necrosis and a raised mitotic count. On review of the literature, only an occasional case report with malignant areas in a hepatic SFT was identified. This case highlights that SFT should be included in the differential diagnosis of a hepatic spindle cell lesion, and that on rare occasions, malignant areas can occur in this already uncommon neoplasm.

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
Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver was rarely documented. F-FDG PET/CT imaging of malignant hepatic solitary fibrous tumor in a 49-year-old male patient was reported. The multifocal hepatic lesions demonstrated avid FDG uptake. FDG PET/CT might be potentially useful in the differentiation of benign and malignant solitary fibrous tumor.

Abstract
A 55-year-old man was annually followed up for a large hepatic cyst. In 2006, a 20-mm nodule was detected in contact with the cyst that gradually grew thereafter. By 2013, the mass had expanded to 90 mm, and a percutaneous biopsy revealed a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Surgical resection was subsequently performed, and the patient has since been doing well for 11 months, without recurrence. SFT of the liver is a rare neoplasm; only 44 cases have been reported to date. This is the first report to describe the long-term progression of hepatic SFT from the time of its development.
