Ancillary studies such as immunohistochemistry and molecular tests are useful in differentiating soft tissue tumors. SFTs have historically been diagnosed by morphology and strong diffuse CD34 positivity. Additional immunohistochemical phenotype previously used for identification included expression of Bcl2, CD99, and vimentin and absence of expression of epithelial, muscle, and neural markers. However, the introduction of STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) immunostain now dominates due to its high sensitivity and specificity. STAT6 expression is demonstrated by nuclear staining. Molecular testing by next generation sequencing is also highly useful in detecting the NAB2::STAT6 fusion. Breakapart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe for STAT6 can detect rearrangement of this gene.  In the context of SFT, the rearrangement of the ''STAT6'' gene is highly suggestive for the presence of ''NAB2-STAT6'' fusion.

(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column to a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears to be given options. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support)

Subtype(s) None

Definition / Description of Disease

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal spindle cell neoplasm that can develop at any site in the body, including soft tissue, visceral organs, bone, etc.  It was first described by Klemperer and Rabin in 1992 as a tumor of the pleura. However, since then this entity has been increasingly described from extrapleural sites. A morphologic clue to the diagnosis is the distinctive branching “staghorn” vessels. SFT is characterized by NAB2::STAT6 fusion resulting from a paracentric inversion at chromosome 12q13q13.

Synonyms / Terminology

Formerly SFTs were categorized as hemangiopericytomas.

Epidemiology / Prevalence

SFT occurs most commonly in adults with no gender predilection. Incidence of the tumor is highest in the age group of 40-70 years.

Clinical Features


Signs and Symptoms SFTs present as slow-growing, painless neoplasms. Clinical symptoms can be due to mass effect in the site of involvement.

e.g. Abdomen/Pelvis: abdominal distention, constipation, urinary retention

Head/Neck: Dysphonia, nasal obstruction, dysphagia

Laboratory Findings EXAMPLE: Cytopenias

EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level)

Sites of Involvement

SFTs may occur at any site of the body. Involvement of head and neck, deep soft tissues, abdominal cavity, retroperitoneum, pelvis, bone, and visceral organs have been reported.

Morphologic Features

Morphologically, biopsy or resection specimens will show a bland spindle cell proliferation arranged haphazardly in a background of collagenous stroma. Cells contain ovoid nuclei within eosinophilic cytoplasm with indistinct cell borders. Tumors can vary in cellularity and stromal collagen. On low power, branching, “staghorn” shaped vessels can often be appreciated. Mitotic counts are usually low. Myxoid and lipomatous change have been described. SFT with adipocytic component are referred to as fat-forming (lipomatous) SFTs. There is also a variant known as giant cell rich SFT, which has the classic patternless spindle cell proliferation admixed with multinucleated giant cells. Dedifferentiated SFTs will show conventional SFT transitioning to a high-grade pleomorphic variant. Heterologous elements may be present. Standard immunophenotypic expression of CD34 and STAT6 is often lost in the dedifferentiated component.

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Ancillary studies such as immunohistochemistry and molecular tests are useful in differentiating soft tissue tumors. SFTs have historically been diagnosed by morphology and strong diffuse CD34 positivity. Additional immunohistochemical phenotype previously used for identification included expression of Bcl2, CD99, and vimentin and absence of expression of epithelial, muscle, and neural markers. However, the introduction of STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) immunostain now dominates due to its high sensitivity and specificity. STAT6 expression is demonstrated by nuclear staining. Molecular testing by next generation sequencing is also highly useful in detecting the NAB2::STAT6 fusion. Breakapart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe for STAT6 can detect rearrangement of this gene.  In the context of SFT, the rearrangement of the STAT6 gene is highly suggestive for the presence of NAB2-STAT6 fusion. A dual color dual fusion probe targeting both genes would be a direct confirmation for NAB2-STAT6 fusion.
