Introduction and Importance: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor that can manifest in a variety of locations, including the retroperitoneum. The most effective standard diagnostic approach and treatment is yet to be determined due to unpredictable behavior of SFT, including retroperitoneal SFT., Case Presentation: A 43-year-old female with a retroperitoneal SFT presented with a palpable mass and symptomatology. Surgical exploration disclosed a tumor encompassing the left renal artery and vein, necessitating left nephrectomy and retroperitoneal mass removal. Initial histological examination suggested rhabdomyosarcoma, but subsequent immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of retroperitoneal SFT. No adjuvant therapy was administered, and there was no detectable mass on follow-up imaging. The patient remained symptom-free., Clinical Discussion: Retroperitoneal SFTs are difficult to diagnose due to their non-specific morphology, thus immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in confirming its diagnosis. Surgical excision with negative resection margins continues to be the standard treatment. Recurrence rates are low in comparison to other retroperitoneal sarcomas, hence routine chemotherapy or radiation therapy is not advised., Conclusion: This case demonstrates the significance of contemplating SFT as the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors and the role of immunohistochemistry in confirming the diagnosis. The optimal management strategies for retroperitoneal SFTs should be determined by additional research., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest statement There is no conflict of interest in this research paper., (Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

Renal cell carcinoma not otherwise specified (RCC NOS) is a very rare type of kidney cancer which used for renal tumors that do not fit into any of the well-recognized subtypes. We reported a case of RCC NOS of a 64-year-old male presenting an enlarging left flank mass. Abdominal CT showed a left kidney mass infiltrating to the adrenal, with pulmonary metastases. Cytoreductive nephrectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed and diagnosis of RCC NOS was confirmed through histopatological and immunohistochemistry examination., (© 2023 The Authors.

Malignant Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that consists of spindle cell components. The occurrence of SFT in the genitourinary tract is extremely rare. So, there is no clear algorithm for the management of this case. We report A 33-year-old male who complained of recurrent penile swelling in the last 7 months after underwent surgery 3 months earlier. The tumor re-enlarged from the surgical wound's previous sutures. Total penectomy was performed followed by bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. Perineostomy was performed for urinary diversion. Long-term follow-up after surgery is suggested due to the risk of recurrences and metastasis., (© 2023 The Authors.)
