A 32-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain and an abdominal mass. Abdominal CT showed a 130mm pancreatic tail mass with an enhanced rim, central necrosis, and small calcification. A 6mm lung tumor was also found via chest CT. Her medical history included surgical resection of cerebral solitary fibrous tumor when she was 24 years old. When she was 31 years old, it had recurred but was cured by gamma knife radiosurgery. We performed distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy with lymph node dissection. According to pathological and immunohistochemical findings, it was diagnosed as an anaplastic carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells. She underwent surgical resection of the lung tumor 2 months after pancreatic resection and was diagnosed with metastasis from the solitary fibrous tumor. Fourteen months since undergoing pancreatectomy, the patient experienced no recurrence from both diseases. We report a rare resected case of anaplastic carcinoma of pancreas concomitant with recurrent solitary fibrous tumor.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm, which generally arises from the pleura. There have been documented a number of extrapleural origins including the head and neck in the literature. It is emphasized to make a diagnosis in a rare location such as the retropharyngeal space.

Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare non-malignant disorder characterized by excessive proliferation of histiocytes, the cause of which remains unknown. Although the lymph nodes are the most commonly affected site, some patients may present with extranodal involvement, particularly in the skin, nasal cavity, eyes, and bones. In this report, we aim to present a unique case of RDD with pleural involvement in a 61-year-old patient.

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare, aggressive tumors typically found along the dural sinuses. Despite their aggressive nature, complete surgical resection remains the most significant factor in reducing recurrence and improving survival. Here, we present the case of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with a new-onset headache and vertigo.

Purpose: The NAB2::STAT6 fusion is predominantly associated with solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and is utilized in diagnosing SFTs through nuclear STAT6 protein overexpression. Recent studies expanded the phenotypic spectrum of NAB2::STAT6 rearranged neoplasms, including adamantinoma-like and teratocarcinosarcoma-like phenotypes. We report a case of a NAB2::STAT6 rearranged epithelial tumor exhibiting sebaceous differentiation in the parotid gland.
