A Rare Metastatic Fibrous Tumor: Review of Literature With a Case Report

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) can be either localized or metastatic. We present a rare case of a 69-year-old patient with a metastatic solitary fibrous tumor in uncommon anatomical locations, treated with a short course of pazopanib. While surgical resection remains the primary treatment for localized SFT, chemotherapy has been used for advanced cases. Our unique case highlights the need for more research into treatment options to improve patient outcomes. Since both benign and malignant SFTs can metastasize, mortality is mainly due to thoracic metastases; further studies are needed to understand the prognostic factors that influence disease spread versus local growth.
