Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a neoplasm that can occur in the urogenital tract, and is also reported occurring in the spermatic cord, seminal vesicles, urinary bladder, prostate, and kidney.

Synopsis

- proliferation of bland-looking vimentin+, CD34+, bcl2+ and CD99+ spindle cells
- haphazard growth pattern
- storiform growth pattern, pushing borders
- low mitotic rate (2 mitoses x 10 HPF)

Differential diagnosis

- other primary monomorphous benign and malignant spindle cell tumors of the kidney

  • fibroma
  • benign fibrous histiocytoma
  • hemangiopericytoma
  • inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor
  • leiomyoma
  • angiomyolipoma with predominant spindle cell smooth muscle component
  • benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors
  • renal mixed epithelial/stromal tumors
  • adult type mesoblastic nephroma
  • fibrous type monophasic synovial sarcoma
  • malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors
  • adult-type fibrosarcoma
  • low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma
