Figure 1 Computed tomography scan of the abdomen showing a well-circumscribed, solitary, large mass (15 cm × 10 cm × 20 cm) adjacent to the left liver lobe.
The claw sign of hepatic tissue suggests intrahepatic localization. Notable features include hypervascularity, heterogeneous enhancement, and smooth margins.
Figure 2 Gross specimen is a bulky neoplasm attached to the liver capsule.
Figure 3 Histological findings indicative of malignant solitary fibrous tumor.
A: Hypo- and hypercellular patternless growth patterns [hematoxylin and eosin (HE), × 40]; B: Short spindly to ovoid tumor cells in a collagenous background (HE, × 200); C: Immunohistochemical staining with positive detection of CD34 (HE, × 200); D: Multifocal areas of necrosis (HE, × 200); E: Hypercellularity, cytologic atypia, and increased mitotic activity (HE, × 400).
