Successful Excision of a 15x20cm #Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor on Nape, Originating From #Submesenchymal Cells by Gökmen Akkaya in BJSTR
Abstract
Objective: Solitary fibrous tumors are mostly benign tumors that originating from submesenchymal cells of parietal or, more commonly,
visceral pleura.
Case: In that case, we have hospitalized a male patient, who
was attended to the emergency service with massive bleeding, with a
giant (15
x 20cm) mass located on his nape. The operation was planned as a
collaboration of plastic and cardiovascular surgery teams. After a
successful
surgical excision histopathologically, the result was solitary fibrous
tumor.
Discussion: Our approach resulted in a satisfying operative result without harmful complications in such a difficult case. In our opinion,
surgical approach should always be thought as an option regardless of size in case of solitary tumors.
