BACKGROUND: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare fibroblastic mesenchymal tumor that mostly involves the pleura and infrequently involves extra-pleural sites. De novo SFT of the kidney is uncommon, and malignant SFT is extremely rare.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 51-year-old man with a large malignant SFT in the left kidney. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of SFT based on typical morphology, nuclear STAT6 expression, and NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion. The malignant subtype was determined by a large tumor size (≥ 15 cm) and high mitotic counts (8/10 high-power fields). KRAS mutation was identified by DNA sequencing. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) was diffusely and strongly expressed in tumor cells, however, hypoglycemia was not observed. Hyperglycemia and high adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) concentration were observed one month after surgery. Hormone measurements revealed normal blood cortisol and aldosterone levels, and increased urinary free cortisol level. A pituitary microadenoma was identified using brain magnetic resonance imaging, which may be responsible for the promotion of hyperglycemia.
CONCLUSIONS: We report a case of renal malignant SFT with a KRAS mutation, which was previously unreported in SFT and may be associated with its malignant behavior. Additionally, we emphasize that malignant SFT commonly causes severe hypoglycemia due to the production of IGF2. However, this effect may be masked by the presence of other lesions that promote hyperglycemia. Therefore, when encountering a malignant SFT with diffuse and strong IGF2 expression and without hypoglycemia, other lesions promoting hyperglycemia need to be ruled out.
