ABSTRACT
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon neoplasm tipically located on the pleura (Chick et al., 2013 Mar). Althought prostatic cancer tend to be adenocarcinoma, prostatic solitary fibrous tumor might be a rare cause of prostatic growth. They usually are asymptomatic although they can produce lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Diagnosis is anatomopathological although Magnetic Resonance (MRI) can be useful to evaluate local and metastatic involvement (Liu et al., 2019). An adequate treatment is the most important prognostic factor and it involves complete surgical resection. We report an 85-year-old male that had an enormous SFT with LUTS treated with surgery which was delayed because of COVID-19 pandemic.
