Solitary Fibrous Tumour of the Kidney: Case Report with Review of the Literature

| Summary: | Solitary Fibrous Tumour (SFT) is an unusual spindle cell tumour that usually occurs in the pleura, but has recently also been reported to be
extra-pleural in origin. A renal presentation is very rare. Upto 90% of the tumours have benign characteristics. It is difficult to differentiate it
from renal cell carcinoma by using imaging techniques. A definitive diagnosis can be made by doing a detailed pathological examination,
which includes immunohistochemistry. We are reporting a case of a large solitary fibrous tumour of the kidney which here occurred in a 70-
years-old male. Histological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis, by revealing strongly positive reactions of the
neoplastic cells for CD34, bcl-2, vimentin and negativity for Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA), Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA), S-100 protein
and Ki-67. The patient suffered a cardiac arrest and died on the seventh day after his surgery. |
