- Solitary fibrous tumors are rare tumors that usually develop in the pleura but can also occur in the mesentery, as shown in this case study.
- A 66-year-old patient had an abdominal mass found incidentally for a decade, which sometimes caused pain, and it was surgically removed.
- The biopsy confirmed it was a solitary fibrous tumor from the mesentery, and the patient recovered well after surgery without complications during the following four months.
Article Abstract
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.
