Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, we present the rare case of a huge malignant solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the greater omentum. At presentation, the patient complained of an abdominal mass. After routine imaging examination, she underwent an exploratory laparotomy with a suspected diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Post-operative histological examination and gene sequencing indicated a malignant SFT of the greater omentum. We reviewed and discussed the pre-operative diagnosis, surgical options, and post-operative treatment of reported cases of malignant SFTs of the greater omentum. We suggest the application of gene sequencing in the diagnosis of malignant SFTs.
