abstract ={Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor primarily found in the pleura, with occasional presentations in extra-pleural locations. SFTs are typically diagnosed based on compressive symptoms due to their large size. Most SFTs are benign with a low recurrence rate, with an overall good prognosis with an overall 5-year survival of over 90%. Approximately 12-22% of SFTs are malignant and are associated with a higher recurrence rate of up to 78%. Given the low incidence and sparse case series literature, no adjuvant therapies have demonstrated a survival benefit. We present the first case of abdominal malignant SFTs with peritoneal dissemination, describing the presentation, histopathology, treatment planning and surveillance.}
