BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), a rare neoplasm, usually originates in the pleura. Extrapleural SFTs occasionally occur in the head and neck. METHODS In this study, the extirpation of a rare case of recurrent SFT invading the atlas is discussed. RESULTS Ten years after surgical resection of an SFT in the right parapharyngeal space, the patient returned with a complaint of swelling ...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare neoplasm composed of mesenchymal-derived spindle cells. Although SFT occurs anywhere in the body, they most frequently affects the thoracic region. Here, we reported an extremely rare case of an extrathoracic SFT occurring primarily in the kidney. To our knowledge, little information has been described on the immunohistochemistry (IHC) and genetics of rena...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a ubiquitous rare mesenchymal neoplasm. Pleura is the favored site of origin and is rare in the oral cavity. SFT occurs across a wide histopathologic spectrum. Fibrous form characterized by hyalinized, thick-walled vessels with opened lumina and strong CD34 reactivity constitute one end and on the other end, a cellular form representing the conventional hemangiop...

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is one of the rare tumours which arise from visceral pleura. Klemperer and Rabin first described SFT as a distinct clinical entity among primary pleural tumoUrs in 1931. Approximately 820 cases have been reported in literature to date. The management of patients with SFT is complete resection of the tumour and follow up of the patient to detect any possible late re...

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) of the upper limb are extremely rare, and we report this tumor in the arm of a 30-year-old male. He is presented with a 22 cm painless mass. Complete surgical excision was performed. The histological diagnosis of SFT was based on the presence of ectatic blood vessels and positive staining for CD34 and vimentin. He remains disease-free at the 3-year follow-up interv...

Orbital solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare tumor and orbits are a very uncommon site. It is mostly noted to arise from mesenchymal structures like pleura and peritoneum. The diagnosis of orbital SFT cannot be made with certainty on clinical or radiological evaluation alone and requires immunohistochemical studies for confirmation. Orbital SFT's usually show an indolent clinical course and a...

Previously we studied the effect of spatiotemporal pattern of transients on perceptual organization. Transient synchrony/asynchrony was critical in novel illusions of contextual motion (Likova & Tyler, 2001, 2002a,b, 2003a,b, 2004). We found that strong image segmentation can be generated from transient asynchronies in fields of homogeneous visual noise, a phenomenon that we term ‘Structure-fro...

Introduction: Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) is a rare tumor that initially was thought to arise from visceral tissue. Later reports documented its occurrence in central nervous system tissue, with most located intracranially. Few reports have mentioned intraspinal SFTs, with the majority being extra-medullary. In this report, we describe a rare presentation of intramedullary SFT. Case descriptio...
