Imaging, pathology, and diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor of the pancreas: A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND A solitary fibrous tumor(SFT)is often located in the pleura,while SFT of the pancreas is extremely rare.Here,we report a case of SFT of the pancreas and discuss imaging,histopathology,and immunohistochemistry for accurate diagnosis and treatment.CASE SUMMARY A 54-year-old man presented to our hospital with pancreatic occupancy for over a month.There were no previous complaints of discomfort.His blood pressure was normal.Blood glucose,tumor markers,and enhanced computed tomography(CT)suggested a malignant tumor.Because the CT appearance of pancreatic cancer varies,we could not confirm the diagnosis;therefore,we performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy(EUS-FNB).Pathology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with SFT of the pancreas.The posto-perative pathology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with the puncture results.The patient presented for a follow-up examination one month after discharge with no adverse effects.CONCLUSION Other diseases must be excluded in patients with a pancreatic mass that cannot be diagnosed.CT and pathological histology have diagnostic value for pancreatic tumors.Endoscopic puncture biopsy under ultrasound can help diagnose pancreatic masses that cannot be diagnosed preoperatively.Surgery is an effective treatment for SFT of the pancreas;however,long-term follow-up is strongly recommended because of the possibility of malignant transformation of the tumor.

Large isolated fibrous tumors in the upper esophagus: A case report

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors(SFT)are rare spindle cell tumors that are usually benign.A total of 10 cases of SFTs in the upper esophagus have ever been reported.Here,we report the anesthetic management of a patient with a large isolated fibrous tumor of the upper esophagus compressing the tracheal membrane.We also provide a literature review of the current research.CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 49 year old male with“cough aggravation and wheezing after exercise”,who underwent esophagectomy for a large isolated fibrous tumor compressing the tracheal membrane in the upper esophagus.We advise the use of a single-lumen tube with a blocker in patients with difficult airways to reduce the incidence of airway injury and fibrinoscopy at all stages of the perioperative period to guide airway management.This case study is the first report of the anesthetic management of a large,isolated fibrous tumor compressing the tracheal membrane in the upper esophagus.CONCLUSION This rare case emphasizes the importance of perioperative management of anesthesia in patients with large isolated fibrous tumors of the upper esophagus that compress the tracheal membrane.The use of blocker reduce the incidence of airway injury and fibrinoscopy at the perioperative period to guide airway mana-gement.

Solitary fibrous tumor:A case report of this multifaceted tumor

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor(SFT)is a remarkably uncommon mesenchymal tumor.STAT6 level and a combination of clinical,pathological,and molecular features are required to arrive at a proper diagnosis.CASE SUMMARY In this report,we present an intriguing case involving a 43-year-old woman who initially exhibited symptoms of a bleeding retroperitoneal tumor,initially resembling a gastrointestinal stromal tumor,but later confirmed as an SFT.However,a year later,what was initially believed to be a recurrence of her SFT was instead identified as a desmoid tumor.CONCLUSION Distinguishing SFT from other tumors was pivotal.Correcting misdiagnoses of tumor type initially and of recurrence later was necessary for appropriate treatment of the correct desmoid type.

A Clinical and Histopathological Analysis of 147 Cases of Dermatofibroma (Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma)

Background: Dermatofibroma usually occurs on the extremities or trunk as a common and benign skin tumor. The identification of typical dermatofibroma is uncomplicated, although it can be challenge due to its wide range of presentations and histological variations. Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical and histopathological characteristics of 147 Cases of Dermatofibroma. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 147 biopsy specimens of 124 patients who were diagnosed with dermatofibroma in the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Pathology at the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2009 and April 2024. All case were retrieved from the saved medical records. Results: Ages of the 124 Dermatofibroma-affected individuals ranged from 11 to 61 years with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.7. Over 80% of the case occurred between the ages of 20 and 49 years, 61.9% of the lesions were found on the extremities. The duration of the cases varied from 17 days to 30 years and half of lesions (58.2%) persisted for less than two years. Over 60% of the lesions were found on the extremities. The diameter of the tumors ranged between 0.3 cm and 5 cm, with most tumors measuring less than or equal to 2 cm (85.00%). Cutaneous masses or dermatofibroma was the most common clinical diagnosis. Most tumors (79.6%) were asymptomatic. Cutaneous masses or dermatofibroma was the most common clinical diagnosis. Prior to the surgical procedure, 57 cases were suspected to be “DF”, 55 cases were suspected to be “cutaneous masses”. Immunohistochemical staining revealed positive expression of SMA, while the negative rate of CD34 was found to be 66.67%. No diffuse CD34 positivity was observed in all tumors. Conclusion: Variations in clinical features, pathological manifestations, and immunohistochemical results of DF pose challenges for accurate diagnosis. A comprehensive understanding of its clinical and pathological characteristics is crucial for precise identification. Incorporating immunohistochemical analysis can help prevent misdiagnosis.

Endoscopic resection for calcifying fibrous tumors of the gastrointestinal tract

BACKGROUND Calcifying fibrous tumors(CFTs)are rare mesenchymal lesions that can occur in various sites throughout the body,including the tubular gastrointestinal(GI)tract.AIM To analyze the clinical findings of 36 patients with GI tract CFTs to provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment.METHODS This retrospective study included 36 patients diagnosed with CFTs of the GI tract.We collected demographic and clinical information and conducted regular follow-ups to assess for local recurrence.RESULTS The stomach was the most commonly involved site,accounting for 72.2%of the 36 CFTs.Endoscopic mucosal resection(n=1,2.8%),endoscopic submucosal dissection(n=14,38.9%),endoscopic full-thickness resection(n=16,44.4%),and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection(n=5,13.9%)were used to resect calcifying fibrous tumors.Overall,34(94.4%)CFTs underwent complete endoscopic resections with a mean procedure time of 39.8±29.8 min.The average maximum diameter of the tumors was 10.6±4.3 cm.No complications,such as bleeding or perforation,occurred during an average hospital stay of 2.9±1.2 d.In addition,two patients developed new growth of CFTs near the primary tumor sites,and none of the patients developed distant metastases during the follow-up period.CONCLUSION GI tract CFTs are rare and typically benign tumors that can be effectively managed with endoscopic procedures.

TiO2-PES Fibrous Composite Material for Ammonia Removal Using UV-A Photocatalyst

This study focused on the development and characterization of TiO2-PES composite fibers with varying TiO2 loading amounts using a phase inversion process. The resulting composite fibers exhibited a sponge-like structure with embedded TiO2 nanoparticles within a polymer matrix. Their photocatalytic performance for ammonia removal from aqueous solutions under UV-A light exposure was thoroughly investigated. The findings revealed that PeTi8 composite fibers displayed superior adsorption capacity compared to other samples. Moreover, the study explored the impact of pH, light intensity, and catalyst dosage on the photocatalytic degradation of ammonia. Adsorption equilibrium isotherms closely followed the Langmuir model, with the results indicating a correlation between qm values of 2.49 mg/g and the porous structure of the adsorbents. The research underscored the efficacy of TiO2 composite fibers in the photocatalytic removal of aqueous under UV-A light. Notably, increasing the distance between the photocatalyst and the light source resulted in de-creased hydroxyl radical concentration, influencing photocatalytic efficiency. These findings contribute to our understanding of TiO2 composite fibers as promising photocatalysts for ammonia removal in water treatment applications.

Fibrous MXene Aerogels with Tunable Pore of Contaminated Seawater

The seawater desalination based on solardriven interfacial evaporation has emerged as a promising technique to alleviate the global crisis on freshwater shortage.However,achieving high desalination performance on actual,oil-contaminated seawater remains a critical challenge,because the transport channels and evaporation interfaces of the current solar evaporators are easily blocked by the oil slicks,resulting in undermined evaporation rate and conversion efficiency.Herein,we propose a facile strategy for fabricating a modularized solar evaporator based on flexible MXene aerogels with arbitrarily tunable,highly ordered cellular/lamellar pore structures for high-efficiency oil interception and desalination.The core design is the creation of 1D fibrous MXenes with sufficiently large aspect ratios,whose superior flexibility and plentiful link forms lay the basis for controllable 3D assembly into more complicated pore structures.The cellular pore structure is responsible for effective contaminants rejection due to the multi-sieving effect achieved by the omnipresent,isotropic wall apertures together with underwater superhydrophobicity,while the lamellar pore structure is favorable for rapid evaporation due to the presence of continuous,large-area evaporation channels.The modularized solar evaporator delivers the best evaporation rate(1.48 kg m-2h-1)and conversion efficiency(92.08%)among all MXene-based desalination materials on oil-contaminated seawater.

Metastatic pancreatic solitary fibrous tumor: A case report

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor(SFT)is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is most commonly found in the pleura but can also originate from non-pleural sites.Among the nonpleural localizations,the pancreas is extremely rare.In particular,metastasis to the pancreas from the central nervous system(CNS)is extremely rare,with only two cases reported so far.We report a case of recurrence in the pancreas 14 years after the initial complete surgical removal of a tumor in the CNS.CASE SUMMARY A 68-year-old man with a past medical history of recurrent meningeal hemangiopericytoma,currently referred to as SFT,presented to the hospital with jaundice.The patient was first diagnosed with an 8cm-sized meningeal hemangiopericytoma fourteen years ago and underwent osteoplastic craniotomy.After 16 mo,imaging showed recurrence and he underwent gamma knife radiosurgery(GKRS).2 years later,imaging showed recurrence again leading to a second GKRS.5 years later,recurrence was again suspected leading to a second craniotomy.Since then 3 years had passed,and imaging showed a 3.5cm-sized mass lesion on the pancreatic head with obstruction of the pancreatic and bile ducts.Endosonography with fine-needle aspiration biopsy was done preoperatively and aided in the diagnosis of SFT.The patient underwent pyloruspreserving pancreaticoduodenectomy.Pathologic findings of the resected pancreatic specimen,consistent with the previously resected brain specimen,confirmed the diagnosis of SFT.CONCLUSION The rarity and lack of knowledge about SFTs make suspecting and diagnosing this disease challenging.We believe that a report of metastatic pancreatic SFT from the CNS will contribute to a better understanding of this rare disease.

Genesis of Fibrous Calcite in the Chang 7 Member of the Yanchang Formation,Ordos Basin,China

To explore the genesis of the laminated calcite veins developed in the black shale of Chang 73 submember of the Ordos Basin,the petrology,microstructure and geochemistry of calcite veins are studied using thin sections,fluid inclusions,trace elements and isotopic geochemistry.The source,the time of formation,the mechanism of formation,and the dynamic background of the veins are discussed.The veins are mostly made up of calcite,mixed with lenticular or spindle-shape solid wall rock inclusions.Three structures are identified in the calcite minerals:fibrous,rhombic cleavage,and wedge-like structure.Trace elements and isotopes of carbon and oxygen confirm that the calcite veins were formed from a high density hydrothermal fluid.It is assumed that calcite veins formed prior to wall rock consolidation during the formation of the Qinling Orogenic Belt in the Middle and Late Triassic.The results show that the sedimentary sources of Chang 73 submember were influenced by hydrothermal materials besides terrigenous detritus.The fibrous calcite is different from the fibrous calcite reported in the morphology and mechanism of formation.In this way,the research complements and improves the morphology and the mechanism of formation of fibrous calcite.

Surgery for fibrous dysplasia associated with aneurysmal-bone-cystlike changes in right proximal femur:A case report

BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia associated with aneurysmal bone cyst(ABC)-like changes in the right proximal femur has a low incidence.It is considered more difficult to make early diagnosis than for single fibrous dysplasia.CASE SUMMARY A 14-year-old woman was admitted because of persistent pain in the right hip and abnormal gait over the previous 2 mo.She had no history of present or past illness.Preoperative photography,enhanced computed tomography,and magnetic resonance imaging showed ground-glass appearance with cortical scalloping and expansion of the right proximal femur and femoral neck.Pathological examination by preoperative puncture biopsy revealed fibrous dysplasia of the right proximal femur.The patient was diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia based on medical history,physical examination,and results of laboratory,imaging and pathological examinations.According to final pathological examination,the patient was diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia of the right proximal femur associated with ABC.Curettage and allograft along with fixation of compression screws was performed for fibrous dysplasia associated with ABClike changes.No obvious allograft absorption,loosening of fixation,or secondary fracture were observed during 6-months’follow-up with re-examination by plain radiography and computed tomography.Fibrous dysplasia associated with ABClike changes in the right proximal femur has a low incidence and early diagnosis is considered more difficult than for single fibrous dysplasia.CONCLUSION We report a cases of fibrous dysplasia associated with ABC-like changes in the right proximal femur treated with curettage and allograft along with hip compression screws.

Difficulties in diagnosing angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma of the head and neck region:A case report

BACKGROUND Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma(AFH)is a rare,slow-growing soft tissue tumor.It appears mostly on the limbs and trunk in children and young adults.The biology of AFH remains unclear because of the small number of reported cases.Diagnostic testing does not provide definitive results.It has two clinical forms,that differ in terms of gene expression and clinical prognosis.It is important to inform the laboratory which specific gene testing is necessary.Here,we describe a case of rare AFH in the submandibular region using a full genetic panel.CASE SUMMARY A 13-year-old boy who had been misdiagnosed in the past 6 mo by his dentist visited our clinic because of a lesion in the submandibular area on the right side.The lesion was homogeneous and painless upon palpation.No skin discoloration was observed.Due to the non-specific radiological picture computed tomography(CT),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),cone-beam CT(CBCT),and ultrasoundguided biopsy were performed.A venous malformation was suspected on the MRI.None of the tests provided a definitive diagnosis.Owing to the non-specific radiological findings,the patient qualified for surgical treatment.The surgical procedure included an excisional biopsy.The diagnostic testing was extended using gene rearrangements.The most distinctive gene translocation in diagnosing AFH is within the EWS RNA-binding protein 1(EWSR1)-CREB-binding protein.However,in this case,the diagnosis was confirmed by a rearrangement within the EWSR1 gene testing.CONCLUSION AFH in the submandibular location is rare,and surgical treatment with genetic evaluation defines AFH type that affects subsequent procedures.

Fibula allograft transplantation combined with locking plate for treatment of recurrent monostotic fibular fibrous dysplasia:A case report

BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia is a congenital disorder in which normal bone is replaced by fibro-osseous tissue or irregular trabeculae of woven bone intermixed with mature collagenous tissue.A single or multiple bones are affected.This rare bone disorder has three clinical patterns including monostotic,polyostotic,and that associated with McCune-Albright syndrome.Most studies report primary fibrous dysplasia.However,a few cases of recurrent monostotic fibular fibrous dysplasia have been reported.Here,we report a therapeutic strategy for recurrent fibular fibrous dysplasia.CASE SUMMARY A 4-year-old boy was admitted for persistent pain in the left lower limb and abnormal gait over the previous 9 mo.He had no history of present or past illness.Preoperative imaging data showed erosion-like changes with bone expansion of the left middle and lower fibular segment.Tumor tissue in the fibular bone marrow cavity was removed by curettage,and rapid intraoperative pathological examination suggested fibular fibrous dysplasia.An allograft was implanted into the fibular medullary cavity.However,he was readmitted with clinical symptoms including persistent pain,abnormal gait,and local swelling at the age of 6 years.He was diagnosed with recurrent fibular fibrous dysplasia based on the second medical examination.He underwent fibular bone tumor radical resection and longus fibular allograft transplantation combined with fibular bone locking plate and screws.Good host bone to allogenic bone graft fusion was observed by the physician on postoperative regular follow-up.CONCLUSION Radical resection of fibrous dysplasia and longus fibula allograft combined with internal fixation for reconstruction are suitable for the treatment of recurrent monostotic fibular fibrous dysplasia.

Shape-controlled synthesis of novel precursor for fibrous Ni-Co alloy powders

A novel precursor of nickel-cobalt alloy powders with an appropriate Ni to Co molar ratio was prepared under selectively synthetic conditions. The composition and morphology of the precursor were characterized by X-ray diffractometry （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry （FT-IR） and energy dispersive spectrometry （EDS）. The effects of pH value, reaction temperature, metal ion concentrations and surfactant on the morphology and the dispersion of precursor were investigated. The results show that the morphology of precursor depends on ammonia content in the precursor. A fibriform precursor is a complicated ammonia-containing nickel-cobalt oxalate. The uniform shape-controlled fibrous precursor is obtained under the following optimum conditions： ammonia as complex agent as well as pH adjustor, oxalate as coprecipitator, 50-65 °C of reaction temperature, 0.5-0.8 mol/L of total concentration of Ni2＋ and Co2＋, PVP as dispersant, and pH 8.0-8.4.

Low temperature solid-phase sintering of sintered metal fibrous media with high specific surface area

A procedure of low temperature solid-phase sintering（LTSS） was carried out to fabricate sintered metal fibrous media（SMFM） with high specific surface area.Stainless steel fibers which were produced by cutting process were first plated with a coarse copper coating layer by electroless plating process.A low-temperature sintering process was then completed at about 800 °C for 1 h under the protection of hydrogen atmosphere.The results show that a novel SMFM with complex surface morphology and high specific surface area（0.2 m2/g） can be obtained in this way.The effect of sintering temperature on the surface morphology and specific surface area of SMFM was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller.The damage of micro-structure during the sintering process mainly contributed to the loss of specific surface area of SMFM and the optimal sintering temperature was 800 °C.

Preparation of fibrous nickel powder by precipitation transformation coupled with thermal decomposition

Fibrous particulate precursor was obtained by precipitation transformation in the ternary solution system of ammonium oxalate, nickel chloride and ammonia. The composition and morphology of precursor were characterized by XRD, SEM, IR and DTA/TGA analyses. The results show that the chemical composition and morphology of precursor precipitates at pH=8.4？8.8 are different from those of precursor precipitates at pH=6.0, and the mechanisms of the thermal decomposition of the precursors are different. The effects of various conditions in the process of thermal decomposition, including precursor morphology, atmosphere, temperature and time on the morphology and dispersion degree of obtained nickel powders were studied in detail. The final product inherits the morphology of precursor when the thermal decomposition is conducted under a weakly reducing atmosphere at temperature range of 400？440 °C for 30 min. Fibrous nickel powder can be produced with good dispersion, and its shape changes from smooth, straight and compact fiber into loose and curved fiber with rough surface.

Calcifying fibrous tumor of the gastrointestinal tract: A clinicopathologic review and update

Calcifying fibrous tumor(CFT)is a rare mesenchymal lesion that has been documented throughout the gastrointestinal tract.Gastrointestinal CFTs may occur at virtually any age,with a predilection for adults and for females.They occur most commonly in the stomach and the small and large intestines.CFTs are most often found incidentally,cured by local resection,and have a low risk of recurrence.Histology shows three characteristic features:Spindle cell proliferations within a densely hyalinized stroma,scattered calcifications,and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation.CFTs are immunoreactive for CD34,vimentin and factor XIIIa,helping to distinguish them from other benign mesenchymal neoplasms.The differential diagnosis of CFTs includes sclerosing gastrointestinal stromal tumor,leiomyoma,schwannoma,solitary fibrous tumor,inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor,plexiform fibromyxoma,fibromatosis,sclerosing mesenteritis,and reactive nodular fibrous pseudotumor.The pathogenesis of CFTs remains unclear,but some have hypothesized that they may be linked to IgG4-related disease,inflammatory myofibroblastic lesions,hyaline vascular type Castleman disease,sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen,or trauma.

Doege-Potter syndrome by malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the liver: A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver (SFTL) is a rare occurrence with a low number of cases reported in literature. SFTL is usually benign but, 10%-20% cases are reported to be malignant with a tendency to metastasize. The majority of malignant SFTL cases are associated with a paraneoplastic hypoglycaemia defined as Doege-Potter syndrome. Surgery is the best therapeutic treatment, however, long- life follow-up is recommended. CASE SUMMARY A 74-year-old man, was admitted to the emergency department after a syncopal episode with detection of hypoglycaemia resistant to medical treatment. The computed tomography revealed a solid mass measuring 15 cm of the left liver. An open left hepatectomy was performed with complete resection of tumor. Histopathological analyses confirmed a malignant SFTL. CONCLUSION Large series with long-term follow-up have not been published neither have clinical trials been undertaken. Consequently, the methodical long-term followup of surgically treated SFTLs is strongly recommended.

Intracranial malignant solitary fibrous tumor metastasized to the chest wall:A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor(SFT)is a rare fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm that affects spindle cell soft tissues with broad-spectrum biological behavior;it is predominantly benign,and rarely metastasizes.SFT occurs mainly in the tissue structure of the serosa in the pleura and the thorax,and can be found throughout the body,though extra-thoracic localization,including the cephalic region,is uncommon.We reported the first case of intracranial malignant SFT metastasized to the chest wall.CASE SUMMARY An 81-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital due to progressive gait disturbance and appetite loss.His medical history included partial resection due to brain tumor,four times,and 50-Gray radiation therapy at another hospital,starting when he was 74 years old.An unenhanced head computed tomography(CT)scan revealed an 8 cm×5.1 cm×6.5 cm mixed-density mass at the left frontal lobe,accompanying a midline shift,and an unenhanced chest-abdomen CT scan revealed a 6 cm×4.1 cm×6.5 cm low-density mass in the left chest wall.A CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy was performed,and the pathological findings were SFT corresponding to brain tumor.Finally,the correct diagnosis of his brain tumor in history of past illness revealed to be SFT,and the unremovable tumor,namely present brain lesions enlarged and metastasized to the chest wall.We established a definitive diagnosis of intracranial malignant SFT metastasized to the chest wall.We notified him and his family of the disease,and offered palliative care.He passed away on the 29 th hospital day.CONCLUSION This case suggests the need for careful,detailed examination,and careful followup when encountering patients presenting with a mass.

Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Kidney Treated with Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: A Case Report

We herein reported a 27-year-old woman with a right renal mass for two years.She underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Immunohistochemical examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor by revealing its positive staining for cluster of differentiation(CD)34,epithelial membrane antigen(EMA),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)and CD99 in the tumor cells.No adjuvant treatment was carried out.The patient was in good health without local recurrence or metastasis during 2 years of follow-up.Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal solitary fibrous tumor is an alternative treatment to radical nephrectomy.It can provide a good outcome.However,further follow-up and more cases of renal solitary fibrous tumor treated with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy are necessary to compare the oncological outcome with radical nephrectomy.
