SOLITARY FIBROUS TUMOUR - RARE TUMOUR WITH UNUSUAL PRESENTATION

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) are rare spindle cell neoplasm that commonly involve lung, pleura and mediastinum. They are believed to be mesenchymal in origin. Though originally thought to arise from pleura increasing numbers of extra pulmonary SFT are reported nowadays because of increased awareness of histology of the tumour. The tumour may be benign or malignant. Here we report a case of extra pulmonary SFT in inguinal region which presented as inguinal hernia.
