Abstract：Objective To investigate the CT performance of thoracic and abdominal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT ) and to improve the understanding of this disease .Methods We retrospectively analysed the CT features of 5 patients with SFT occurred in thorx and abdomen ,which were confirmed by operation and pathology .Results In these 5 cases ,1 case oc-curred in lung ,1 in pleura ,1 in the anterior mediastinum .Peritoneal cavity was found in 1 case and 1 case was in retroper-itoneal site .All of the cases showed clear border ,irregular shape ,4 cases showed lobulated signs ,one case presented with pedicle .The maximum diameter was from 6 .1 cm to 12 .7 cm .CT plain scan was that 5 cases presented with homogeneous density ,2 cases with calcification .On enhanced CT ,4 cases showed heterogeneous and significantly enhancement ,en-hanced amplitude with (45~90) HU ,thickening and tortuous vascular shadow were also seen inside tumor .Conclusion CT examination has certain characteristics of SFT .In some abdominal and pelvic SFT cases ,when the abdominal aorta participates in blood supply to the tumor ,it’s also helpful to differential diagnosis ofreproductive system tumors .
