Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Kidney : A Case Report

Abstract EN

Solitary fibrous tumor is a spindle cell neoplasm mostly originating from pleura; however, it has also recently been reported to be extrapleural.

A 57-year-old man presented with left lumbal pain.

Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a cystic lesion of 14 × 11 cm with solid areas and septations in middle and lower poles of the left kidney.

Radical nephrectomy was performed.

Immunohistochemical studies showed strong reactions with CD34 and CD99.

A nuclear positivity with Ki-67 was observed in less than 1% of cells.

Despite repeated stainings with vimentin, no clear tumor evaluation could be made due to artifacts.

The tumor was negative with Bcl-2, desmin, HMB-45, S100, FVIII, and CD31.

Histopathological and molecular studies made the diagnosis of a solitary fibrous tumor.

The patient is now currently free of disease at the 26th month of followup.
