Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare vascular malignancies that are rarely reported in the upper limb, and even rarer as secondary metastasis to the small bowel. We present a case of a 39-year-old male patient, a known case of metastatic SFT, presenting with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed ileo-ileal intussusception. Subsequently, he underwent surgical resection. Histopathological examination showed high-grade sarcoma of the intestinal wall, confirming small intestinal metastasis. This constitutes one of the rare cases of SFTs metastasizing to the small bowel, specifically to the ileum. A review of the literature on similar cases is presented. There appears to be a connection between upper limb SFT and bowel metastasis according to reported literature. However, the scarcity of similar reports makes the generalizability of the conclusion limited.
孤立性纤维瘤(SFTs)是一种罕见的血管恶性肿瘤,在上肢很少见,作为小肠继发性转移更为罕见。我们报告一例39岁男性患者,已知为转移性SFT病例,表现为严重腹痛和呕吐。计算机断层扫描显示回肠套叠。随后,他接受了手术切除。组织病理学检查显示肠壁高级别肉瘤,证实为小肠转移。这是SFTs转移至小肠,特别是回肠的罕见病例之一。本文对类似病例的文献进行了综述。根据已报道的文献,上肢SFT与肠道转移之间似乎存在联系。然而,类似报告的稀缺性使得该结论的普遍性有限。
