Abstract:
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are well recognized in the pleura, but their rare occurrence at other sites has become appreciated only in recent years. We experienced a 68-year-old male patient who presented with frequency of urination and difficulty in voiding. Computed tomographic scan revealed a solid and cystic mass which measured 12 x 10 cm in the prevesical space. This tumor showed typical histopathologic features of SFT, and was immunostained positive for vimentin, CD34 and CD99. This is an extremely rare case of SFT arising from the parietal peritoneum found in the prevesical space.
