Abstract:
Solitary fibrous tumor(SFT) was previously named localized fibrous mesothelioma, and this is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that usually shows benign behavior. It is the most commonly recognized tumor of the pleura. These tumors have been recently reported to be found in unexpected locations. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only 2 reports of SFT arising from the urinary bladder in Koreans. We review this third case of SFT that was misdiagnosed as bladder cancer. This tumor was removed from a 40-year-old man who had a history of lower urinary tract symptoms.
