Solitary fibrous tumour
Diagnosis in short

Solitary fibrous tumour. H&E stain.
LM spindle cells in a patternless pattern, hemangiopericytoma-like areas (staghorn vessels), keloid-like collagen bundles, +/-well-circumscribed (common)
Subtypes benign (common), malignant (uncommon)
IHC CD34 ~90% +ve, CD99 ~70% +ve, BCL2 ~50% +ve
Site soft tissue - fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumours, pleura
Syndromes Doege-Potter syndrome
Prognosis usu. good

Solitary fibrous tumour, abbreviated SFT, is a type of soft tissue tumour that fits in the fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumours. It is usually benign.

SFT of the pleura is dealt with in a separate article solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura.

General

  • Grouped with hemangiopericytoma in the WHO classification - as it is thought to be the same tumour because both share the same molecular alteration.[1][2]
  • May be benign or malignant; more commonly benign.[3][4]
  • May be associated with hypoglycemia.
    • Known as Doege-Potter syndrome.[5]
  • Leptomeningeal SFTs/hemangiopericytomas are classified as follows:
    • WHO grade I: classical SFT
    • WHO grade II: classical hemangiopericytoma
    • WHO grade III: anaplastic hemangiopericytoma / malignant SFT

Gross

  • Soft tissue mass.

Microscopic

Features - benign:

  • Spindle cells in a patternless pattern.
    • Occasionally epithelioid cells - rare.[6]
  • Hemangiopericytoma-like area (staghorn vessels).
  • Keloid-like collagen bundles - key feature.
  • +/-Well-circumscribed (common).

Criteria for malignancy:[1]

  • Necrosis.
  • Mitoses >4/10 HPF -- definition suffers from HPFitis.
  • Increased cellularity.
  • Marked nuclear atypia.
  • Infiltrative margin.

Images

  • Benign SFT - low mag. (WC)

  • Benign SFT - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Benign SFT - high mag. (WC)

  • Nuclear STAT6 immunoreactivity in malignant SFT (WC/jensflorian)

Malignant solitary fibrous tumor (low to intermediate grade tumor). 15 cm mass in upper arm of 50 year old man.[7] 

  •  Hypocellular (green arrow) and hypercellular (cyan arrow) areas alternate.

  • Vascular spaces suggest antlers (staghorn). Note subcapsular hemorrhage.

  • Stromal hyalinization

  • Nuclei, lacking organization, show varied size and shape, with some cells being round to ovoid. The arrow points to myxoid focus in stroma. When a majority of the following are present, a low to intermediate grade malignant solitary fibrous tumor is present: 1) size > 5 cm (this case), 2) pleomorphism with round cells/epithelioid cells (this case), 3) subcapsular hemorrhage (this case), 4) ≥4 mitoses per 10 high power fields, 5) necrosis with perivascular tumor sparing. STAT 6 positivity is very helpful in separating this tumor from its mimics

IHC

  • CD34 ~90% +ve.
  • CD99 ~70% +ve.
  • BCL2 ~50% +ve.
  • Stat6 nuclear +ve.[8]
