Epithelioid solitary fibrous tumors from CNS and soft tissues: an unusual morphologic variant
This study aims to enhance the awareness of ESFTs. In these cases, irrespective of the onset location, the arrangement patterns of tumor cells, such as papillary structures and the morphology of epithelial-like cells, conspicuously lack the hallmark histological characteristics of Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs). Consequently, it requires differential diagnosis from a plethora of malignant neoplasms. Moreover, the elevated malignancy level of this cohort of cases poses substantial diagnostic challenges to pathologists, compounding the complexity of accurate interpretation.
