Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin of medium-low grade with a tendency to local recurrences but not to distant metastases. We present the case of a 37-year-old male who underwent surgical resection of a 1.2 cm DFSP lesion on the left shoulder in May 2020.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare borderline mesenchymal tumor typically arising in the pleura and involving the orbit as its most common extra-pleural location.
Case Description: We herein describe two cases of orbital SFT arising in both a 69-year-old woman presenting with progressive proptosis of the left eye and a 49-year-old woman presenting with binocular diplopia. The diagnoses relied on histopathological analysis of biopsy samples.
Solitary fibrous tumour is a relatively rare soft tissue fibroblastic tumour, accounting for approximately 2% of soft tissue tumours. It has been described primarily as a tumour of the pleural cavity; however, up to 70% of cases occur elsewhere, in any anatomical location, which can make diagnosis difficult. If this is the diagnosis being considered, the STAT6 antibody is currently available with high sensitivity and specificity.

Background: Solitary fibrous tumors can manifest at various anatomical sites, predominantly occurring at extrapleural sites with a peak incidence between 40 and 70 years. SFT necessitates long-term follow-up owing to its tumor characteristics. However, comprehensive reports covering the period from initial diagnosis to the patient's demise are lacking.

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare fibroblastic mesenchymal tumor that mostly involves the pleura and infrequently involves extra-pleural sites. De novo SFT of the kidney is uncommon, and malignant SFT is extremely rare.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 51-year-old man with a large malignant SFT in the left kidney.
