Abstract
Objective:
Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare neoplasias that were first reported in pleura, but can occur in different sites. Inguinal location is extremely rare.
Methods/Results:
We report one case of a 74 year old man with a right inguinoscrotal mass with 50 years of evolution. After surgical extirpation, solitary fibrous tumour was diagnosed.
Conclusions:
The vast majority of solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) have a benign course. Only a few cases have aggressive behaviour, with local recurrence and metastasis. Treatment is surgical, but we must do a long-term follow up in all cases.
