Robot-assisted laparoscopic removal of an extraperitoneal pelvic solitary fibrous tumor.

ABSTRACT

•Pelvic SFTs are rare, typically benign soft tissue neoplasms that pose a diagnostic challenge for gynecologists.•Retroperitoneal pelvic SFTs can mimic gynecologic malignancies and should be considered in diagnosis of a solitary pelvic mass.•Pathologic diagnosis is typically confirmed by immunohistochemistry staining positively for CD34 and STAT6.•Complete surgical excision is recommended for these tumors and can be completed with a minimally invasive approach.•Close long-term follow-up is necessary due to possible recurrence or metastasis, especially for high-risk pathologic features.
