CD34-negative solitary fibrous tumour of the broad ligament with doege-potter syndrome: a case report

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) are rare fibroblastic mesenchymal tumours that can occur in various anatomical sites but are extremely rare in the female genital tract. The broad ligament itself is a rare location for primary tumours and SFT in the broad ligament has only been described twice before in the literature. We report on a case of CD34-negative SFT in a 61-year-old female who presented with Doege-Potter syndrome. This case highlights the unusual presentation and location, atypical CD34 expression and utility of STAT6 immunohistochemistry for SFTs. 1.Chen S, Zheng Y, Chen L, et al.
