Abstract
-
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) arising from the vagina is a very rare benign stromal tumor, which has a well-demarcated margin and proliferation of spindle cells with the absence of any atypical features. Immunohistochemically, the cells are strongly positive for CD34. Surgical resection of the tumor is recommended as a definite treatment. Clinical courses of SFT are almost benign but long-term follow-up of SFT of the vagina have not been reported yet. We have experienced a case of solitary fibrous tumor arising from the vagina and report this case with a brief of literature.
