Peritoneal solitary fibrous tumour (SFT): long-term survival of recurrent and metastasised SFT treated with cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
This study reports a case of a SFT of the peritoneum in a 44-year-old white man that recurred 3 years after the initial surgical removal of the tumour. The patient recurred diffusely, developing a pattern of sarcomatosis and hepatic metastasis and was treated by surgical cytoreduction followed by intraoperative peritoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC). Subsequently, he developed pulmonary metastases and was treated with palliative chemotherapy. The patient persisted with recurrent and distant disease, although it was reduced and stabilised, allowing his survival for the last 3 years since the extended surgery. New treatment strategies for a rare disease such as this one have first to be described in order to improve patient follow-up.
