Core Tip
Core tip: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor that rarely locates in the pancreas. We present the case of a 55-year-old man with a pancreatic lesion that proved to be an SFT after thorough pre- and post-operative control. The characteristics of this case and the other fifteen cases of pancreatic SFT reported in the literature are described.
