Abstract
Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are uncommon, slow-growing neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. Greater than 80% of SFTs are benign and are typically asymptomatic. SFTs most commonly present in the pleura and mediastinum but have also been reported to originate in the meninges, upper respiratory tract, thyroid, and peritoneum. SFTs of the liver are extremely rare; in fact, there have only been 86 cases reported in the English language literature. Surgical resection is recommended for SFTs due to the potential for malignancy, especially as SFTs can be misdiagnosed by needle-biopsies. Due to non-specific imaging features, SFTs are often diagnosed post-operatively based on histopathological and immunohistochemical properties.
