'''Solitary fibrous tumour''', abbreviated ''SFT'', is a type of [[soft tissue lesion|soft tissue tumour]] that fits in the [[fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumours]]. It is usually benign. | |||
==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> | |||
