Article Abstract
Fat-forming solitary fibrous tumor is a rare and specific subtype of solitary fibrous tumor. In this case, a mass of 8.3 cm in diameter was found in a 59-year-old male patient's right retroperitoneum, as revealed by abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images. The tumor exhibited a well-circumscribed nature and histological features characterized by a combination of hemangiopericytomatous vasculature and mature adipose tissue, comprising around 70% of the total tumor composition. Immunohistochemistry staining revealed diffuse positive expression of STAT6 and CD34 in the tumor cells. Based on these findings, the final diagnosis was determined to be a fat-forming solitary fibrous tumor located in the retroperitoneum. It is important to consider other potential differential diagnoses, including angiomyolipoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, spindle cell lipoma, and atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma.

The patient, a 37-year-old male, initially presented with per rectal bleed. Colonoscopy revealed a circumferential lesion within the lower rectum, along with a few satellite lesions. At that time, we performed a biopsy, but the histopathological examination revealed consistent solitary rectal ulcer syndrome.

Solitary fibrous tumor, formerly also referred to as hemangiopericytoma, is a fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm of the orbit that rarely metastasizes but has a propensity for local recurrence. We describe 5 cases of orbital solitary fibrous tumors that were treated with radiation. In 3 patients, radiation therapy was given in the neoadjuvant setting prior to surgery.

Background: Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors often presenting with dural-based lesions. These tumors can exhibit aggressive characteristics with high recurrence rates and extracranial metastasis. While SFTs occasionally invade venous sinuses, cases where the tumor arises within the venous sinus are rare.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly originates in the pleura but can also occur at extrapleural sites, including the abdominal cavity. Among these, primary SFT of the stomach is exceptionally rare. Due to overlapping clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics, distinguishing SFT from gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) can be particularly challenging.

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a locally aggressive neoplasm consisting of multiple hyaline cartilaginous nodules. This neoplasm typically manifests as multiple intra-articular calcified or uncalcified nodules, whereas the extraarticular form is particularly rare. We herein present a case of solitary extraarticular SC arising in the hand and correlate the imaging findings with pathologic findings.
