title: [Solitary fibrous liver tumor: clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics].
abstract: A solitary fibrous liver tumor is a rare disease which is difficult to diagnose. Radiological findings are not specific, and cannot confirm benignity or malignancy. Treatment most often involves a major hepatic resection. A precise diagnosis is made by pathological examination, mainly immunohistochemistry with positive results for anti CD34 and anti vimentin antibodies. Prognosis is directly correlated to the presence of malignant histoprognostic features, i.e. the number of mitoses. We report a case of a benign solitary fibrous liver tumor, which presented as a voluminous hepatic mass with few symptoms and was treated successfully by radical hepatic resection.
