Abstract
Introduction Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare soft tissue tumor found at any site of the body. The treatment of choice is surgical resection, though 10%-30% of patients experience recurrent disease. Multiple risk factors and risk stratification systems have been investigated to predict which patients are at risk of recurrence. The main goal of this systematic review is to create an up-to-date systematic overview of risk factors and risk stratification systems predicting recurrence for patients with surgically resected SFT within torso and extremities. Method We prepared the review following the updated Prisma guidelines for systematic reviews (PRISMA-P). Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, WHO international trial registry platform and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched up to December 2022. All English studies describing risk factors for recurrence after resected SFT were included. We excluded SFT in the central nervous system and the oto-rhino-laryngology region. Results Eighty-one retrospective studies were identified. Different risk factors including age, symptoms, sex, resection margins, anatomic location, mitotic index, pleomorphism, hypercellularity, necrosis, size, dedifferentiation, CD-34 expression, Ki67 index and TP53-expression, APAF1-inactivation, TERT promoter mutation and NAB2::STAT6 fusion variants were investigated in a narrative manner. We found that high mitotic index, Ki67 index and presence of necrosis increased the risk of recurrence after surgically resected SFT, whereas other factors had more varying prognostic value. We also summarized the currently available different risk stratification systems, and found eight different systems with a varying degree of ability to stratify patients into low, intermediate or high recurrence risk. Conclusion Mitotic index, necrosis and Ki67 index are the most solid risk factors for recurrence. TERT promoter mutation seems a promising component in future risk stratification models. The Demicco risk stratification system is the most validated and widely used, however the G-score model may appear to be superior due to longer follow-up time. Systematic Review Registration CRD42023421358.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare type of mesenchymal lesion with variable clinical presentation in which specific clinicopathologic factors have been related to patient outcome. SFT shares an important morphologic and immunohistochemical overlap with other sarcomas, hence the differential diagnosis is challenging. Although molecular studies provide significant clues, especially in the differential diagnosis with other neoplasms, a thorough hematoxylin and eosin analysis and the integration of phenotypical, clinical, and radiological features remain an essential tool in SFT diagnosis. In this review, we discuss some emerging issues still under debate in SFT.

Evaluation of Alternative Risk Stratification Systems in a Large Series of Solitary Fibrous Tumors with Molecular Findings and Ki-67 Index Data: Do They Improve Risk Assessment? Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010439. [PMID: 36613891 PMCID: PMC9820154 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The clinical evolution of solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) is often uncertain and several risk stratification systems (RSS) have been proposed. The Demicco et al. RSS is the most frequently implemented. In this study we aim to validate two alternative RSS (Sugita et al. and G-Score) using results for the Demicco RSS from a previous study of 97 SFTs. In addition, we aim to determine whether reclassified cases had any distinctive molecular features. As the Sugita et al. system substitutes mitotic count with Ki-67 index we also investigated whether Ki-67 results for tissue microarrays are comparable to those obtained using whole tissue sections. In the present study we detected that many cases classified by Demicco RSS as low-risk were reclassified as intermediate risk using the new system (G-score RSS). Kaplan-Meier survival plots for G-Score RSS showed that the low-risk and intermediate-risk SFTs had a similar evolution that contrasted with the more aggressive high-risk group. Moreover, the similar evolution in both low and intermediate-risk groups occurred despite the G-score system being stricter in classifying low-risk tumors. We observed that Sugita RSS does not provide any better risk stratification in comparison with the Demicco RSS, and testing both RSS in our series produced similar Kaplan-Meier survival data. We found some discordant results when comparing whole sections and the corresponding tissue microarrays samples, finding the hotspot areas easier to locate in whole sections. Forty-one SFTs with initial low-risk assigned by the Demicco RSS were reclassified as intermediate-risk by G-score finding both TP53 and HTER mutations in four cases, only HTER mutation in 11 cases, and only TP53 mutation in 2 cases. All six cases of SFT classified as high-risk by both the Demicco and G-score RSS suffered recurrence/metastasis, and half showed both TP53 and HTER mutations. Five SFTs were categorized as low-risk by both Demicco and G-score, of which 4 cases revealed HTER mutation. Regarding the outcome of these 5 patients, two were lost to follow-up, and one of the remaining three patients suffered recurrence. We believe that although the presence of both TP53 and HTER mutations may confer or be related to poor evolution, the isolated presence of HTER mutation alone would not necessarily be related to poor outcome. The G-score RSS more accurately identified low-risk patients than the other two risk models evaluated in the present series. Late recurrence/metastasis may occasionally be observed even in low-risk SFTs categorized by stricter classification systems such as the G-score RSS. These findings support the possibility that additional, as yet unknown factors may influence the clinical evolution of SFTs. In conclusion, given the possibility of late recurrence, long-term follow-up is recommended for all SFT patients, even in cases classified as low risk by the stricter G-score system. An integration of clinical, radiological, pathological, and molecular findings may improve SFT risk stratification and better predict patient outcome.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFT) is a rare disease. Besides surgery combined with radiotherapy in nondisseminated stages, curative options are currently absent. Out of fourteen primo-cell cultures, established from surgical SFT specimens, two showed stable in vitro growth. Both cell models harbored the characteristic NAB2-STAT6 fusion and were further investigated by different preclinical methods assessing cell viability, clone formation, and protein regulation upon single-drug treatment or in response to selected treatment combinations. Both fusion-positive cell models showed-in line with the clinical experience and the literature-a low to moderate response to most of the tested cytotoxic and targeted agents. However, the multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors ponatinib and dasatinib, as well as the anti-sarcoma compound trabectedin, revealed promising activity against SFT growth. Furthermore, both cell models spontaneously presented strong FGFR downstream signaling targetable by ponatinib. Most interestingly, the combination of either ponatinib or dasatinib with trabectedin showed synergistic effects. In conclusion, this study identified novel trabectedin-based treatment combinations with clinically approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors, using two newly established NAB2-STAT6 fusion-positive cell models. These findings can be the basis for anti-SFT drug repurposing approaches in this rare and therapy-refractory disease.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of fibroblastic origin, was initially discovered in the mediastinal pleura and then described in many extra-pleural sites. The reports of primary solitary fibrous tumor of bone are extremely rare and only a few cases have been previously mentioned in the literature, most of which in flat and short bones. Here we present the case of a 53-year-old female, who was referred to the emergency department of a peripheral hospital after an accidental fall. Imaging studies revealed an intertrochanteric fracture with an underlying intramedullary lytic lesion. A biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma was initially suggested. She arrived at our hospital where we reevaluated the case. The biopsy was reviewed and a diagnosis of intraosseous SFT was proposed. She underwent en-block resection of the proximal right femur. Primary SFTs of the bone are, like in our case, easily misdiagnosed due to the low specificity of the imaging studies and the extreme rarity of the localization. An accurate diagnosis and early resection are very important and with careful long-term follow-up is essential, particularly in those who with malignant behavior, for the early detection of possible recurrence or metastasis.

Abstract
A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a ubiquitous tumor that occurs across all ages. It is rarely reported in pediatric patients, especially as a congenital mass. A 1 year 7-month old male child presented with a slow-growing gluteal mass since birth along with a recent episode of bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-defined, T1-hypointense and T2-hyperintense mass in the skin and the subcutaneous plane. Subsequently, he underwent a surgical resection that revealed a 5.7 cm-sized fleshy mass. On histopathologic examination, there was a fairly well-circumscribed, cellular spindle cell tumor, with cells arranged in intersecting fascicles and hemangiopericytomatous pattern with areas of hemorrhage and fibrinoid necrosis. Cells revealed mild nuclear atypia. Mitotic figures were up to 8/10 hpf. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for CD34 and STAT6. Furthermore, the tumor revealed NAB2 exon 4:: STAT6 exon 2 fusion by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. Post-excision, during follow-up, the patient developed an adrenal mass that was histopathologically proven as a neuroblastic tumor, not further specified on biopsy and finally as ganglioneuroblastoma, intermixed type on excision. This constitutes one of the rare cases of SFT in a pediatric patient, presenting as a congenital mass, confirmed by STAT6 immunostaining and further, molecular testing. A review of literature of similar cases, including treatment-related implications, is presented.

Skeletal Radiol 2022; 51:807-817.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) uncommonly occur in the musculoskeletal system, with limited available data on their MRI appearance. This study was performed to assess the MRI features of SFTs in the musculoskeletal system (MSK-SFTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Pre-treatment MRI in 39 patients with pathologically proven SFTs in the trunk or extremities was evaluated. Patient demographics, clinical management and follow-up, and lesion histology were reviewed. MRI features including lesion location, size, morphology, signal characteristics, vascularity, and relationship to major neurovascular structures were assessed. RESULTS MSK-SFTs most frequently occurred in the lower extremity (23/39 cases, 59%), deep to fascia (29/39, 74%), and intermuscular (22/29, 76%) in location. The majority of deep lesions were located along a major neurovascular bundle (20/29, 69%). Lesions had well-defined margins (39/39, 100%), multilobulated contours (27/39, 69%), and measured mean 6.9 ± 2.8 cm. The majority of lesions had slightly hyperintense T1 signal (34/39, 87%) and heterogenous intermediate-to-high T2/STIR signal (28/38, 74%). A "pseudo-cerebriform" internal architectural pattern on fluid-sensitive sequences, with internal lobulations and low signal bands/septations, was observed in 63% (24/38) of lesions. Lesions commonly demonstrated prominent intra-lesional (30/39, 75%) and peripheral juxta-lesional flow voids. Local invasion of surrounding structures was uncommon (3/39, 8%). Mitotically active lesions (p = 0.02) and lesions with tumor necrosis (p < 0.01) were larger in size. Tumor necrosis was associated with T1 heterogeneity (p = 0.04). Distant metastasis occurred in 10% (4/39) of patients, all in mitotically active lesions pre-operatively considered at least at intermediate risk of metastasis. CONCLUSION MSK-SFTs commonly present as well-defined, hypervascular masses deep to fascia along major neurovascular bundles, with heterogeneous slightly hyperintense T1 signal, intermediate-to-high T2/STIR signal, and prominent macroscopic flow voids.
