Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) most commonly present in the fifth and sixth decades of life and are frequently diagnosed incidentally. A 57-year-old gentleman presented with lower abdominal pain and difficulty in passing urine for six months, and the examination revealed a suprapubic hard mass, which was bimanually palpable. Then he underwent resection of the pelvic tumor along with prostatectomy and permanent suprapubic cystostomy. Postoperative histology confirmed the preoperative diagnosis, and the patient completed adjuvant radiotherapy. He has been disease-free for the last 30 months. Surgical management of SFTs is similar to most soft tissue sarcomas, with a goal of wide resection margins and preservation of any critical surrounding organs. It is highly variable based on the location and involved structures. A multidisciplinary team approach with surgeons experienced in sarcoma surgery is recommended for the treatment and management of these tumors.
