ABSTRACT
RATIONALE Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, especially the giant one from the abdominal pelvic cavity. We report on a rare case of a giant SFT of the abdominal pelvic cavity to review the existing literature in detail to improve the diagnosis and treatment of SFT. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient is a 52-year-old female who presented with 2 weeks of abdominal distension. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a giant mass (>20â
cm) in the abdominal pelvic cavity, considered a mesenchymal tumor. She denies a history of tumor disease. DIAGNOSES A whole abdomen bulge and a mass of about 18â
cmâ
×â
10 cm on the right side and middle side were found in the physical examination after admission. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant cystic-solid mass located on the middle and right side of the abdominal pelvic cavity, measuring approximately 20.4â
cmâ
×â
11.7â
cm, with multiple cystic changes and necrosis and compression of adjacent organs and tissues, and marked inhomogeneous enhancement. INTERVENTIONS:
The patient underwent an open abdominal pelvic cavity giant tumor operation to achieve a radical resection, and did not undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy.OUTCOMES:
The patient underwent open complete resection of a giant abdominal pelvic tumor with no complications and was diagnosed as SFT according to the pathology, immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor tested positive for CD34(+), STAT-6(+), and Ki-67 (10%). Abdominal computed tomography scans were performed 6 months after resection, and no signs of recurrence or metastasis were found. LESSONS The clinical symptoms and imaging features of giant abdominal pelvic cavity SFT are not typical. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and has the potential for malignancy. Based on the results of the current study, there is no standard treatment strategy around the world and the therapeutic effect of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is relatively limited. Thus, complete surgical resection and close clinical follow-up are advocated.
