Extra-thoracic solitary fibrous tumours (ESFT) have traditionally been regarded as indolent neoplasms similar to their intra-thoracic counterparts. However there has been some evidence that a subset of more aggressively malignant tumours exist. We examined our experience with these rare tumours in an effort to clarify their clinicopathological behaviour and relate this to their histopathological findings.
