Isolated caudate lobe resection for solitary fibrous tumour of caudate lobe of liver - A rare combination

We present a 42 year old female with a solitary fibrous tumour in the caudate lobe. Solitary fibrous tumour is a rare tumour of the liver originating from the mesenchyme. The malignant potential of the tumour has not been well defined. Pre-operative diagnosis is not always possible as reported imaging features of the tumour are also largely non-specific and the diagnosis is usually by histopathological findings. The patient was treated with an isolated caudate lobe resection, which is a rare and technically demanding procedure by itself. The patient was free from any symptoms and recurrence one year after surgery.
