Abstract
A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. Ex situ hepatectomy and liver autotransplantation are novel methods for the treatment of complicated liver tumors, for example, those involving vascular structures, including the inferior vena cava, which are unresectable by conventional approaches. The present study describes a rare case of a massive hepatic SFT in a 32-year-old female who underwent ex situ hepatectomy and liver autotransplantation to achieve a radical resection. The surgery was without complications. Post-operative histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed an SFT of the liver. The patient was discharged 29 days after the surgery with fully recovered liver function. The routine check-up 3 months after surgery indicated normal liver function and no evidence of recurrence. Additionally, an exhaustive review of available literature was performed to provide a complete overview of the current status of SFTs. In summary, the present study found that ex situ hepatectomy and liver autotransplantation are suitable surgical techniques for treating a giant SFT, as well as other liver neoplasms that are considered unresectable by conventional surgery.

Chen N, Slater K. Solitary fibrous tumour of the liver-report on metastasis and local recurrence of a malignant case and review of literature. World J Surg Oncol 2017; 15:27. [PMID: 28100235 PMCID: PMC5242002 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-017-1102-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2016] [Accepted: 01/12/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) are neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that predominantly arise from the pleura. SFT of the liver (SFTL) are a rare occurrence with little number of cases reported in English literature. Malignant cases of hepatic SFT are an even rarer occurrence. For this reason, the prognostic evaluation of SFTLs is unknown and difficult to measure. Methods A search on English literature on “Solitary Fibrous Tumour of the Liver” was conducted on common search engines (PubMed, Google). All published articles, case reports and literature reviews and their reference lists were reviewed. Case report This paper presents a 61-year-old male who was referred to a tertiary hospital in April 2010 with marked hepatomegaly. USS, CT and MRI scans were suggestive of a neoplasm, and the patient underwent a subsegmental IVb resection in June 2010. The specimen demonstrated histological and immunohistochemical features of malignant SFTL with clear resection margins. The patient was followed up regularly for 3 years with imaging and no suggestion of recurrence. Six years after the initial surgery, the patient represented with worsening right upper quadrant pain and dyspnoea secondary to extensive tumour recurrence adjacent to the resection site and metastatic deposits in the pleura. The patient was managed symptomatically and discharged for community follow-up after palliative involvement. Conclusions SFTL are rare with only 84 cases reported in the English Literature including the present case. The average age of patients is 57.1 and occurs in females more than males (1.4:1). Most SFTLs follow a benign course, however, 17.9% of cases displayed malignant histological features. Only three cases including the current case are reported to have both local recurrence and metastasis. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment and appears to be curative of most cases. The rarity of this tumour makes it difficult to evaluate its prognosis and natural course.

Abstract
Intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions are uncommon and often present a diagnostic challenge. An important group of such lesions are the gastrointestinal stromal tumours. Other intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions include fibromatosis, various sarcomas-in particular, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour-and, in women, endometrial stromal sarcoma. Less common lesions are inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours, the mesenteric spindle cell reactive lesions, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and solitary fibrous tumour. A variety of intra-abdominal tumours of nonmesenchymal origin may have a spindle cell/sarcomatoid morphology; these include sarcomatoid carcinoma, malignant melanoma and, in women, sarcomatoid granulosa cell tumour. Finally, metastatic sarcomas from pelvic or extra-abdominal organs need also be considered. A set of practical aids to the diagnosis of intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions is presented to assist pathologists dealing with such lesions, particularly with regards to the consideration of differential diagnoses.
