Abstract

An 80-year-old woman visited her family physician because of back pain. A chest X-ray film showed a mass in the left middle lung field. She was referred to our hospital for further examinations. A computed tomography-guided lung biopsy revealed a solitary fibrous tumor, and a whole body examination demonstrated multiple metastases, including in the spine, ribs, femurs and pubis. Considering her age, chemotherapy was not given, but we administered radiotherapy for the metastatic lesions. Subsequently detected metastases of the left orbit, liver, scapula and humerus were also then irradiated, but she died 11 months after the initial diagnosis due to the complication of bacterial pneumonia. A case of a solitary malignant fibrous tumor with multiple metastases was reported.
