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<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Klemperer|first=Paul|last2=Rabin|first2=Coleman B.|date=1992-01|title=Primary Neoplasms of the pleura. A report of five cases|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajim.4700220103|journal=American Journal of Industrial Medicine|language=en|volume=22|issue=1|pages=4–31|doi=10.1002/ajim.4700220103|issn=0271-3586}}</ref> 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.
