Solitary fibrous tumor of the abdominal wall: a new case with literature review.

OBJECTIVE

We present a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the abdominal wall treated laparoscopically.

METHOD: We will discuss the clinicopathologic characteristics and will present a review of the literature.

RESULTS

SFTs are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. Its location in the abdominal wall is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 20 cases have currently been described in the literature.

CONCLUSIONS

Complete surgical resection is the main therapy for all cases. A laparoscopic approach is safe. Clinical-radiological follow-up must be carried out due to its uncertain behavior, and perioperative treatment may be necessary in high-risk patients.
