Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors, originally identified in the pleura. Even though they have subsequently been described in several extrapleural sites, the incidence of SFTs in the spermatic cord is particularly rare. Here, we report a case of a 27-year-old male that presented with a 3-year history of left scrotal swelling. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound demonstrated multiple solid, hypoechoic well-circumscribed masses that were separate from the testis. Surgical excision of the mass led to pathologic diagnosis of a solitary fibrous tumor involving the spermatic cord. Solitary fibrous tumors, although rare, are an important differential diagnosis for urogenital tumors.

Abstract Background Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that typically arises from the pleura. Although it may appear in other organs, it rarely develops in the pancreas. We report herein a rare case of metastatic SFT of the pancreas originating from an intracranial tumor and subsequently identified as a cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Case presentation A 58-year-old woman with a past medical history of brain tumor visited the hospital for further investigation of a cystic tumor in the pancreas tail. Abdominal imaging showed a heterogeneously enhancing mass that was initially suspected as a neuroendocrine neoplasm, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, or mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy was performed without any intraoperative and postoperative complications. Pathological findings confirmed a diagnosis of malignant SFT of the pancreas with hyperproliferative potential. A histopathological review of her brain tumor revealed that the pancreatic tumor was derived from her brain lesion. The patient developed recurrent brain disease 4 years after the pancreatectomy, but no recurrence has been observed in the abdominal cavity. Conclusions SFT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of untypical hypervascular pancreatic mass, particularly in patients with a history of an intrathoracic or intracranial mesenchymal tumor. Immunohistochemical analysis is crucial in detecting this tumor entity. Hyperproliferative status indicates a malignant disease and requires careful postoperative observation.

Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms that were initially described as pleural tumors, but in recent years, numerous extrapleural sites have been reported. A solitary fibrous tumor is characterized as a circumscribed, painless mass with a patternless growth pattern, positive CD34 spindle-shaped cells, bcl-2, and dense keloidal collagen with areas of hypercellularity and hypocellularity. This case report describes a 55-year-old male veteran who presented with a rare manifestation of an extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor of the medial right hallux. Microscopic and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with the previously documented characteristics of solitary fibrous tumors. Complete surgical excision of the tumor is the treatment of choice.

Fibrous Tumor

Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that usually affects the pleura. This rarity becomes more relevant in the oral cavity since the clinical features are nonspecific. A 66-year-old female patient presented with a 3-month history of a swelling in the floor of the mouth, measuring 2 cm in greatest diameter, and pain symptomatology. Occlusal and panoramic radiographs showed no bone involvement. Ultrasonography of the submandibular and parotid salivary glands revealed normal morphology, dimensions, and echogenicity. During this exam, a nodular image of low echogenicity measuring about 2.7 × 1.8 cm was detected. An excisional biopsy was performed and histopathological analysis revealed a well-defined tumor-like lesion with alternation between hypercellular areas without a defined pattern and hypocellular areas. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor was positive for CD34 and CD99 and negative forα-SMA, S-100, and bcl-2. Combining the histopathological and immunohistochemical features, the diagnosis was solitary fibrous tumor. The patient is under periodical clinical follow-up and shows no signs of recurrence 7 months after surgical excision of the tumor. The combination of clinical-pathological and immunohistochemical features is necessary for the diagnosis.

Abstract Background Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumours predominantly found in the uterus. Rarely, they may be located in the ovaries, scrotum, bladder, lungs, vascular structures and spermatic cord. Case presentation We managed a 39-year-old man who presented with a year history of progressive right-sided hemiscrotal swelling. The right scrotal mass was excised, and histology showed scrotal leiomyoma. Conclusion Scrotal leiomyoma is very rare and challenging to diagnose pre-operatively as a cause of scrotal swelling, but it is amenable to surgical excision.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor is a neoplasm of mesenchymal origin with benign and malignant forms. We aimed to present a case of solitary fibrous tumor which developed in a patient operated for laryngeal cancer and originated from diaphragm in the light of the literature. Case report: A 61-year-old male patient with tracheostomy with an undiagnosed lesion that appears to be almost 10 cm was referred to our clinic. Since it was a large volume mass, we chose to perform a thoracotomy over thorachoscopic approach. Discussion: Although solitary fibrous tumors most commonly occur in the pleura but may also originated from diaphragm, and our case is valuable that originates from diaphragmatic since there are less than 5 reported cases in literature for past two decades. Conclusion: Even in the case of recurrence, the main treatment remains as total surgical excision. Solitary fibrous tumors are usually detected because of compression symptoms. That is the main reason why we chose thoracotomy.

Fibrous Tumor

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare benign spindle-cell neoplasm, most often found in the pleura. Recently, it has been reported to appear throughout the body but rarely in head and neck region. Tumors in the external auditory canal, in particular, have been very rarely reported. We experienced a case of a 55-year-old male with a 6-month history of progressive swelling from the orifice of left external auditory canal. The tumor was round, well circumscribed, almost completely obstructing the left external auditory canal. On the enhanced temporal bone CT and enhanced paranasal sinus MRI, a 2.0×1.7 cm sized mass was observed at the left external auditory canal. He was treated with surgical excision under general anesthesia. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of SFT. This case report presents a rare case of a SFT arising in the external auditory canal.

Fibrous Tumor

First described as a pleural neoplasm, the solitary fibrous tumor has been reported in a number of extrapleural sites, including the upper respiratory tract. The neoplasm is of mesenchymal origin, exists in benign and malignant forms, and is a histopathologic diagnosis made after exclusion of other soft tissue neoplasms. None of the eight reported sinonasal and nasopharyngeal solitary fibrous tumors have been histologically or biologically malignant. Surgical excision appears to control the tumor at these sites.

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors most commonly arising from the pleura. When associated with paraneoplastic syndrome of hypoglycemia caused by the secretion of a high-molecular-weight form of insulin-like growth factor II, it is referred to as the Doege–Potter syndrome. Surgery with complete tumor resection is the only curative treatment. We present here the case of a 93-year-old female diagnosed with a Doege–Potter syndrome who underwent three repetitive surgical resections of recurrent solitary fibrous tumor.

Extrapleural Solitary Fibrous Tumor

Abstract Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumors have often been confused with other mesenchymal tumors, such as hemangiopericytoma, fibrous histiocytoma, fibrous meningioma, and leiomyoma, because of morphologic similarity and underrecognition, especially if some unusual features are present. Recently, epithelioid solitary fibrous tumor has been reported in the mediastinum. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the orbit with biphasic architecture, including spindle cell and epithelioid components. Both components demonstrated immunohistochemical features of a solitary fibrous tumor. A background of scattered vessels was present. No evidence of significant nuclear atypia or mitotic activity was noted. In this report, we discuss the differential diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor with unusual epithelioid features. Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors of the orbit with a spindle cell appearance even in the presence of some epithelioid morphology.

Irregular Mass

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors that typically arise from the pleura and rarely originate from the mesentery. We herein report a case involving a 66-year-old patient who presented with a mass on the left abdomen. This mass had been incidentally noticed 10 years earlier. The patient sometimes experienced abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed an irregular mass, which was resected. A biopsy of the mass revealed that it was a solitary fibrous tumor originating from the mesentery of the small intestine. The patient was discharged 1 week after surgery and had an uneventful clinical course throughout the 4-month postoperative follow-up.
