Conservative approach for a solitary fibrous tumor of the kidney.

Urologia 2016 November 19
INTRODUCTION: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the kidney represents a rare neoplasm, and its malignant potential seems to be scarce. Classically, a radical nephrectomy is regarded as the treatment of choice for this condition.

CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 37-year-old male patient who underwent left robotic clampless partial nephrectomy of an SFT of the kidney. Our patient has been followed-up carefully, and at 15-month examination, he is free of recurrence. This is the second case of an SFT managed through a conservative approach.

CONCLUSIONS: In our opinion, according to tumor's dimensions, partial nephrectomy may be considered for treating small SFTs.
