PRADO, Fabiana et al. Tumor fibroso solitario y síndrome Doege-Potter. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2018, vol.78, n.1, pp.47-49. ISSN 0025-7680.

The solitary fibrous tumor is uncommon. Even though it frequently locates in the pleura, a few cases have been reported in the retroperitoneum. Differentiation from other neoplasms is difficult, and therefore the diagnosis is always attained through histological examination. Although solitary fibrous tumors have variable clinical behaviors, a better comprehension of the location and its imaging characteristics would help to decrease the list of differential diagnoses. We report a solitary fibrous tumor located in the retroperitoneum whose diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination.

Keywords : Solitary fibrous tumor; Retroperitoneum; Hypoglucemia.
