Abstract
- A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of spindle cells, initially described in the pleura. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies the solitary fibrous tumor as a neoplasm with intermediate biological potential. Diagnostic images are essential for the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this entity. The standard of treatment for this type of lesion is surgical resection with oncological margins larger than 1 cm. The solitary fibrous tumors located in the perianal, perineal, and pelvic regions are infrequent and represent a challenge in the clinical approach, mainly because the manifestations are nonspecific. Given the low incidence of this type of neoplasm, we present two cases of SFT in the perianal region managed in a high-complexity hospital.
