Core Tip Solitary fibrous tumors are predominantly benign and most commonly found in the thoracic cavity and pleura, but occasionally show malignant characteristics and occur in extrathoracic organs. A malignant solitary fibrous tumor involving the liver that was diagnosed in a 62-year-old woman and treated by surgical resection is reported here. Solitary fibrous tumor is very rare in a hepatic location, and surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Due to limited reports of such tumors in the literature, little can be said about the benefit of adjuvant therapy and prognosis for the rare cases with malignant histological findings.
