==Solitary fibrous tumour==
*Abbreviated ''SFT''.
{{Main|Solitary fibrous tumour}}
===General===
*Grouped with ''hemangiopericytoma'' in the WHO classification - as it is thought to be the same tumour.<ref name=Ref_WMSP609>{{Ref WMSP|609}}</ref>
*May be benign ''or'' malignant; more commonly benign.<ref>URL: [http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/diagnosis?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970528-9 http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/diagnosis?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970528-9].

===Gross===
*Classically arise from the pleura - see ''[[solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura]]''.
 
===Microscopic===
Features - benign:
*Spindle cells in a patternless pattern.
*Hemangiopericytoma-like area ([[staghorn vessels]]).
*Keloid-like collagen bundles - '''key feature'''.
*Usually well-circumscribed.
 
Criteria for malignancy:<ref name=Ref_WMSP609>{{Ref WMSP|609}}</ref>
*Necrosis.
*Mitoses >4/10 HPF -- definition suffers from [[HPFitis]].
*Increased cellularity.
*Marked nuclear atypia.
*Infiltrative margin.
