Gigantic Solitary Fibrous Tumour of Extra-Peritoneal Space. A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Surgery - Year 2014, Vol 86, Issue 7
Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare soft tissue tumour which belongs to fibroblastic/myofibroblastic group of tumours. The most often it appears in pleura, also in pericardium, internal organs, peritoneum and extraperitoenal space. SFT was first described as a new type of pleura’s tumour by Klemperer and Rabin in 1931. The histogenesis of SFT’s has been discussed for years suggesting its mesothelial origin. Recently, SFT has been classified as a mesenchymal fibroblastic tumour. We report a very rare case of 71-year old man suffering from gigantic solitary fibrous tumour of extraperitoneal space who underwent curative surgery in the Department of General, Gastroenterological and Oncologic Surgery in 2011.
