Article Synopsis
- - Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare tumor that can occur in various locations in adults, with no gender preference, and can present a wide range of morphological appearances.
- - The study examined 31 cases of SFT from diverse sites, including uncommon areas like the thoracic spine, mesorectal tissue, and breast, highlighting the tumor's versatility in location.
- - Notable morphological characteristics observed in the tumors included lipomatous areas, myxoid changes, and features resembling other tumors, which can lead to diagnostic confusion; thus, pathologists need to be vigilant to distinguish SFTs from other neoplasms.
Hypoglycemia From Metastatic Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumor Occurring Over Two Decades After Initial Diagnosis.
JCEM Case Rep

Department of Pathology, Colorado Permanente Medical Group, P.C., Denver, CO 80239, USA.
Despite multiple intracranial and extracranial relapses associated with a widely metastatic meningeal solitary fibrous tumor (formerly classified as hemangiopericytoma), a 66-year-old type 2 diabetic man was first diagnosed with paraneoplastic hypoglycemia 23 years after the original diagnosis and 12 years after the onset of extracranial metastatic disease. An enlarging mass entirely replacing the left kidney measuring 11.6 × 10 × 28 cm, which had not been locally treated before, was considered to be the putative source of IGF-2 excess.

Background/aim: We present a case of solitary fibrous tumor, arising from the diaphragm in the retroperitoneal space, that was resected with robotic assistance.

Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are highly vascularized, slow-growing, rare benign tumors (WHO grade I). They account for about 2% of intracranial neoplasms; however, they are the most common primary cerebellar tumors in adults. Another frequent seat is the spinal cord (2-10% of primary spinal cord tumors).
