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.[1]
  • May be benign or malignant; more commonly benign.[2][3]
  • May be associated with hypoglycemia.
    • Known as Doege-Potter syndrome.[4]

Gross

  • Soft tissue mass.

Microscopic

Features - benign:

  • Spindle cells in a patternless pattern.
  • 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.

IHC

  • CD34 ~90% +ve.
  • CD99 ~70% +ve.
  • BCL2 ~50% +ve.
