- Abstract
Key Clinical Message: The study reports a rare case of pelvic solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) that was initially considered as a peri‐anal gastrointestinal stromal tumor due to similar radiologic/pathologic features. SFT diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and wide range of diagnoses that must be ruled out precisely. Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare tumors that can occur in any part of the body. Although usually benign, malignant SFTs have been reported, especially outside the lungs. Radiology can help with diagnosis, but immunohistochemistry is necessary to distinguish SFTs from other possible diagnoses such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). This study presents a rare case of pelvic SFT initially considered to be a peri‐anal GIST, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis given the rarity of SFTs and the need to rule out other potential diagnoses.
