Abstract
BACKGROUND: Malignant solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) account for 15%-20% of all SFTs, and malignant SFTs arising from the greater omentum are extremely rare. Most malignant SFTs of the greater omentum are diagnosed via pathological examinations after surgery. In this study, we report a case of malignant omental SFT and review the published literature on this rare malignancy.
CASE SUMMARY: A 64-year-old female presented with an abdominal mass, and underwent exploratory surgery, during which a huge tumor originating from the greater omentum and intraperitoneal implants were identified and resected. The results of the pathological examination, immunohistochemistry staining, and gene sequencing led to the diagnosis of malignant SFT of the greater omentum. The patient died one and a half years later due to tumor recurrence and metastasis.
CONCLUSION: This is the first report of the application of gene sequencing in the diagnosis of malignant SFTs of the greater omentum.
