Abstract
We report a rare case of primary solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the liver and review the literature. A 73-year-old man consulted our hospital because a liver tumor had been detected incidentally at a previous hospital. Enhanced CT revealed a tumor stain in the early phase. We strongly suspected hepatocellular carcinoma and performed posterior segmentectomy of the liver. The histopathological examination revealed many spindle cells with complicated proliferation.
Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the specimen was negative for dog1, CK, c-kit and positive for CD34, bcl-2, CD99. The final diagnosis was primary SFT of the liver. Although primary SFT of the liver is rare, physicians should keep this disease in mind when encountering a hypervascular liver tumor. In addition, as some researchers have reported recurrence, careful follow-up after surgery is advised.
