Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor is neoplasm of mesenchymal origin commonly involving visceral pleura however we are presenting an unusual case with involvement of urinary bladder. It is generally indolent in nature therefore proper diagnosis is required for complete characterization to avoid unnecessary extensive surgical resection. Our patient was a 64-year-old female who presented with lower abdominal fullness with change in her bowel movement pattern. On imaging partially necrotic mass with heterogenous enhancement was found which was later biopsied and resected with clean surgical margin. Solitary fibrous tumor is overall a benign tumor with satisfactory outcome. Physicians should keep it in a differential of pelvic masses and with the risk recurrence, 6 monthly follow up imaging are usually required after resection.
