Published: February 2005

Solitary Fibrous Tumor is a rare neoplasm derived from mesenchymal cell. To achieve a diagnosis and to differentiate from others neoplasm immunohistochemical analysis is needed. The majority of these tumours are benign, and complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of therapy for both the benign and malignant variants. However, there are cases of local and distant recurrences, so patients should have a close follow-up and it is far incorrect to look at this lesion as definitely benign. The authors review clinical presentation, radiological features, histological findings, and treatment options for this tumor and report two clinical cases discussing the differences between them.
