Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor represents a single spectrum of mesenchymal tumors with fibroblastic differentiation. The pleura is the first organ that tumors originate and occur most commonly in the thoracic cavity. Solitary fibrous tumor of pancreas is extremely rare and slow growing with asymptomatic. We report the case of a patient with a primary solitary fibrous tumor of the pancreas with a review of the literature. This case is a 56-year-old woman, presented with right upper abdominal pain for 1 month. Whole abdominal CT scan revealed a well-defined hypervascular mass at right upper abdominal region, sized 6.3x5.9x5.7 cm, abutting duodenum and pancreas. The gross specimen displayed a well circumscribed solid mass at pancreatic head, measuring 7.5x6.5x6.5cm. On histomorphology, the mass comprises bland-looking spindle cell neoplasm. Immunohistochemical studies showed positive vimentin, Bcl-2, CD99, CD34 and STAT-6 compatible with solitary fibrous tumor. The patient had been still alive 1 year after surgery.
