Successful Excision of a 15x20cm Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor on Nape, Originating From Submesenchymal Cells
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective: Solitary fibrous tumors are mostly benign tumors that originating from submesenchymal cells of parietal or, more commonly, visceral pleura.Case: In that case, we have hospitalized a male patient, who was attended to the emergency service with massive bleeding, with a giant (15 x 20cm) mass located on his nape. The operation was planned as a collaboration of plastic and cardiovascular surgery teams. After a successful surgical excision histopathologically, the result was solitary fibrous tumor.Discussion: Our approach resulted in a satisfying operative result without harmful complications in such a difficult case. In our opinion, surgical approach should always be thought as an option regardless of size in case of solitary tumors.Solitary fibrous tumors are mostly benign tumors that originating from submesenchymal cells of parietal or, more commonly, visceral pleura. They contain both normal and abnormal vascular structures. Usually, they become symptomatic due to ulcerations, bleeding and compression of surrounding tissues. We have hospitalized a male patient, who was attended to the emergency service with massive bleeding, with a giant (15 x 20cm). Solitary fibrous tumor located on his nape. The case was decided “not suitable for interventional embolization” so it was widely excised by plastic and cardiovascular surgical teams. The tumor was removed by surgery. Its weight was 1788gr. This is a rare clinical pathology, which has not been published in the English literature before.
