摘要

Background: Solitary fibrous tumour of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare phenomenon. We present a case of the largest cervical tumour of this type in this anatomical location reported so far. Case presentation: A 45-year old white female presented with abdominal pain, abnormal uterine bleedings and a 15 cm mass of the uterine cervix/left parametrium. Histological examination with immunohistochemistry of the tumour biopsy revealed diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumour. The patient underwent radical abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. No recurrence has been observed for 8 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Solitary fibrous tumour can be occasionally found in patients with large cervical/parametrial masses. Immunohistochemistry was helpful in diagnosis and surgery was feasible and effective in treatment of our case of a large solitary fibrous tumour of the cervix.
