Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas (Sts) are rare tumors that make up about 1% of malignant neoplasms. In addition to their histological diversity, Stscan occur anywhere on the body but present predominance in end areas. We aim to describe a case of soft tissue sarcoma because it is a rare malignant neoplasm. We report the case of a male patient, 60 years old, with a previous history of lung adenocarcinoma that started with diffuse abdominal pain with progressive worsening requiring surgical approach presenting histopathological findings compatible with malignant solitary fibrous tumor. He underwent adjuvant chemotherapy but evolved with disease progression. Another surgical approach was performed but due to the extension of the disease, complete resection was not possible and local IMRT radiotherapy was then chosen. The patient has been in clinical follow-up since 2015 considering that the disease has been presenting a slight reduction in its size in the imaging studies.
