Article Synopsis
  • Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a type of spindle cell tumor linked to a specific genetic fusion (NAB2-STAT6) that can occur in any soft tissue, though pancreatic cases are rare.
  • A 36-year-old man experienced abdominal pain and was found to have a mass in the pancreatic tail, but a biopsy did not confirm the diagnosis, leading to potential confusion with other pancreatic tumors.
  • After robotic surgery to remove the tumor, the histopathology showed spindle cells, and specific immunostains confirmed SFT with a low chance of spreading, highlighting the effectiveness of robotic surgery for treatment.

Aims: The PEComa family of tumours is defined by spindle/epithelioid cells with myomelanocytic differentiation. A small subset harbours TFE3 fusion; however, YAP1::TEE3 has not been reported. Clear cell stromal tumour of the lung (CCST-L) is an emerging entity characterized by spindle to epithelioid cells with focal cytoplasmic clearing, inflammatory infiltrates, no myomelanocytic differentiation, and YAP1::TFE3 fusion.
