Progress in diagnostic radiology of retroperitoneal solitary fibrous tumors
LUO Zhiling
Abstract：Retroperitoneal solitary fibrous tumor is a rare tumor in hidden location with late and nonspecific clinical signs. But it has some characteristic image presentations, and can be detected with image examinations, such as ultrasonography, CT, MRI and so on. Imaging examinations are helpful for clinical diagnosis and therapy. The tumor should be differentiated from the retroperitoneal benign tumors with clear boundary and some malignant lesions with relatively clear boundary. A definitive diagnosis depends on pathological examination. We comprehensively reviewed the clinical, pathological and image presentations of retroperitoneal solitary fibrous tumor in this article.
