Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, especially in the rectum. We report an incidental rectal SFT in a 29-year-old male undergoing MRI for complex anal fistulas. Imaging revealed a large, well-defined latero-rectal mass. Diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and STAT6 immunohistochemistry. This case highlights the role of MRI and pathology in identifying rare pelvic tumors.
