Abstract

Background: A Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) is a distinct mesenchymal neoplasm. It was originally described as a tumor localized to the pleura but was later reported in several other anatomic sites and exhibited a wide spectrum of histological features. Owing to its rarity, the diagnosis of extrapleural SFT is challenging and requires an integrated approach comprising specific clinical, imaging, histological, and immunohistochemical findings. Case Presentation: Herein, we report the imaging findings of a rare case of SFT arising from bilateral ovaries confirmed by surgical excision and histological examination. No adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy was given to the patient, and she was disease-free with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis at the 96-month postoperative follow-up. Although it mostly follows a favorable course, SFT is notoriously difficult for prognostication because of its propensity for late relapse or even metastases in 10-39% of cases. Conclusion: Close follow-up is recommended because of the limited information on its long-term behavior.
