ABSTRACT
To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and outcomes of adult renal solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) treated at a single institution. Demographic, diagnostic, surgical, and pathological findings of patients who had undergone radical nephrectomy (RN) due to renal SFT were collected from the database of a single institution and were retrospectively reviewed. Ten patients (6 men and 4 women) were diagnosed with renal SFT in our institution between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016. The mean age was 50.9â±â8.2 years (range, 38-63 years). Of the 10 patients, 6 were asymptomatic, 2 presented with flank pain, 1 presented with abdominal discomfort, and 1 presented with haematuria. Computed tomography scans were obtained for all patients. Open RN was performed on 6 patients, and laparoscopic RN was performed on 4 patients. The mean tumor size was 10.23â±â4âcm (range, 5.3-19âcm). Pathological diagnosis revealed that the tumors in 8 patients were benign, while those in the other 2 patients were malignant renal SFT. No recurrence occurred during a mean follow-up period of 47.3â±â21.5 months (range, 16-85 months). Renal SFT is extremely rare, and its diagnosis may be challenging because of a lack of typical imaging manifestations. RN is a safe treatment modality for benign or low-grade malignant renal SFT, ensuring favorable outcomes.
