title: [Histoculture drug response assay for solitary fibrous tumor--a case report].
abstract: A 49-year-old male was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow in his left lower lung field on chest X-ray. Magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed a large mass on the left diaphragm. The tumor was surgically extirpated. The tumor, encapsulated and growing from the center of the left diaphragm, measured 18 x 8 x 4 cm and weighed 440 g. Microscopic examination revealed a solitary fibrous tumor with mitotic activity of 7/ 50 hpf. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was negative for cytokeratin, s-100 protein, desmin, and alpha-smooth muscle actin, while positive for vimentin and CD34. On a histoculture drug response assay using the resected tissue, the tumor was sensitive to 5-FU, adriamycin, mitomycin C and docetaxel, and resistant to cisplatin, irinotecan, and gemcitabine.
