ABSTRACT

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare vascular malignancies that are rarely reported in the upper limb, and even rarer as secondary metastasis to the small bowel. We present a case of a 39-year-old male patient, a known case of metastatic SFT, presenting with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed ileo-ileal intussusception. Subsequently, he underwent surgical resection. Histopathological examination showed high-grade sarcoma of the intestinal wall, confirming small intestinal metastasis. This constitutes one of the rare cases of SFTs metastasizing to the small bowel, specifically to the ileum. A review of the literature on similar cases is presented. There appears to be a connection between upper limb SFT and bowel metastasis according to reported literature. However, the scarcity of similar reports makes the generalizability of the conclusion limited.
