“…In 2009, Prakash et al [ 15 ] first reported peritoneal carcinomatosis caused by SFT tumor implants at the time of presentation, which is a rare metastasis route and is mostly observed in recurrent SFTs[ 13 , 25 ]. Several extra-pleural SFT cases with metastases after surgical excision in the greater omentum have been reported; 8 of the 14 cases reported in the literature involved metastasis or recurrence, and recurrence was observed even as long as 18 years after remission, or several times after resection[ 13 , 16 ]. Hence, long-term follow-up is necessary for patients who have SFT with malignant potential.…”

“…Some omental tumors, such as sarcoma, may recur and metastasize 20 years after surgery. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with omental tumors undergo long-term follow-ups after surgery[ 26 ]. In this study, although the postoperative pathology of this case was benign angiofibroma, we still recommended that the patient undergo active reexamination and follow-ups.…”

BACKGROUND Primary omental tumors are uncommon, and omental fibromas account for 2% of these tumors. Due to the low incidence of omental fibromas and the limited relevant literature, it is challenging for clinicians to make an accurate diagnosis of this condition, especially before surgery. CASE SUMMARY A 30-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of a left epididymal mass with vague discomfort for more than 1 mo. A physical examination was performed, and the findings showed that the epididymal mass may have entered the abdominal cavity. Pelvic computed tomography was performed in our hospital and revealed a left inguinal hernia with a mass in the hernial contents, and no masses were found in the left epididymis. A traditional inguinal hernia incision was made. Intraoperative hernia contents were found to be of the greater omentum, and a 2.5 cm-diameter mass was found at the distal end of the greater omentum. The scrotum and epididymis did not exhibit other masses. Then, the mass of the greater omentum was excised. Intraoperative frozen pathological examination suggested a spindle cell tumor. The postoperative pathological examination suggested that the mass was an omental angiofibroma. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well and was discharged. Outpatient re-examinations were performed at 1 mo and half a year after the operation and showed no obvious abnormalities. CONCLUSION Due to the low morbidity rate associated with and latent nature of omental tumors, these tumors are difficult to diagnose preoperatively; thorough medical history taking, detailed physical examinations, and necessary imaging auxiliary examinations can help clinicians diagnose and treat these cases.

Background: The solitary fibrous tumor is a rare soft tissue mesenchymal tumor which typically arises from the pleura but may be found anywhere in the body. Abdominal localizations are very rare. The solitary fibrous tumor is classified into two forms, pleural and extrapleural, and morphologically they resemble each other. The diagnostics of the tumor is usually accidental because usually there are no clinical symptoms. The main treatment of the solitary fibrous tumor is the surgical removal of the tumor while radiotherapy treatment and chemotherapy outcomes remain unclear due to the rarity of the tumor and lack of data.Case presentation: We report the case of the 32-year-old man who was diagnosed with the solitary fibrous tumor of the peritoneal cavity. Laparotomy was performed. A grayish-white, stiff, coarse-grained tumor about 11 cm in diameter of the greater omentum was found and radical omentectomy with tumor removal were performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient is well with no signs of recurrence on the CT scan of the chest and abdomen and MRI of the pelvis at 6 months after surgery.Conclusions: The solitary fibrous tumor is a rare condition. It is a borderline-malignant tumor but may cause serious complications if not treated. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms, the tumor is usually detected accidentally. The radical surgical removal of the tumor is the most optimal treatment.
