A solitary fibrous liver tumor is a rare disease that is difficult to diagnose. Radiological findings are not specific and cannot confirm benignity or malignancy. Immunohistologically, CD 34, Vimentin, and Desmin should be used as markers to precisely diagnose solitary fibrous tumors. In most cases, there is low cellularity with no cellular atypia or necrosis, making this a benign lesion. Occasionally, a large size, high mitotic rate, cellular pleomorphism and atypia, and necrosis are interpreted as features suggestive of an increase malignant potential. The outcome of solitary fibrous tumor mostly is related to resectability, although correlated with neither pathological grade nor tumor size. Thus, total surgical resection of the neoplasm is most commonly proposed. Physicians should be alerted that solitary fibrous tumor of the liver can be malignant and can metastasize.
