RationaleSolitary fibrous tumors (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating from a CD34-positive dendritic mesenchymal cell, most of which is benign, the most common sites is pleura and mediastinum, and rarely in the bladder. The clinical manifestations are mainly related to the tumor volume. When the tumor volume is large, it will compress the surrounding tissues or organs and cause corresponding symptoms. Laparoscopic Incision biopsy is effective means for diagnosing SFT.Patient ConcernsA 70-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with a bladder neoplasm detected by computed tomography scan after experiencing intestinal obstruction 3 days following esophageal cancer surgery. She denied any history of tumor disease.DiagnosesNo abnormality was found in the physical examination and laboratory testing after admission. Ultrasound imaging showed a large solid mass with low echogenicity in the bladder. Urological computed tomography with 3D reconstruction revealed a large cystic-solid mass located on the right wall of the bladder, measuring approximately 6.8 cm × 7.1 cm × 6.5 cm, with uneven density and mild inhomogeneous enhancement after contrast administration. Cystoscopy revealed a large mucosal bulge on the right wall of the bladder and laparoscopic exploration revealed a smooth-surfaced round mass, approximately 7 cm in size.InterventionsIncision biopsy was performed to make a clear diagnosis, and appropriate tissue specimens were obtained for pathological testing.OutcomesThe patient was diagnosed as SFT according to pathology. The patient was followed up for 6 months after surgery, and no recurrence was observed.LessonsSFT occurring in the bladder are extremely rare, and the site is scarcely reported in the relevant literature; thus, it is easy to misdiagnose and laparoscopic incision biopsy may be a good choice.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
