title: [Pelvic solitary fibrous nodule, incidental finding and laparoscopic resection. Case report].
abstract: The solitary fibrous nodule is a rare clinical disease that mainly affects the pleura, but has been occasionally described in other anatomical sites. This type of tumors can have malignant components and therefore it is important to differentiate them from other retroperitoneal masses. We describe the case of a patient with ectopic pregnancy in whom a solitary fibrous nodule with laparoscopy was found. A peritoneal pelvic tumor with smooth surface, 20,2 g, firm was detected. The mass was independent of colon, uterus, ovaries or salpinx and was very near to the iliac vessels on the right side. A small fragment was biopsied and sent to trans surgical histopathology study and the rest of the mass was removed completely without complications. The histopathologic report described that the tumor contained sclerosed cells with collagenous bands and sings of hemorrhage and calcification, compatible with a benign pelvic solitary fibrous tumor. The solitary fibrous nodule is a rare, benign disease, but with malignant potential. These tumors must be resected when they are incidentally found during other surgical procedures or if diagnosed preoperatively. The laparoscopic approach has advantages in the identification and resection these tumors.
