It was first described in the pleura. There are numerous reports that document their extrapleural locations. SFT involving the cervix is extremely rare and only a handful of cases have been reported in Indian and western literature. Previously, it was thought that SFT tumor cells differentiated from mesothelial cells into fibroblasts. With the advent of immunohistochemistry, it is revealed that tumor cells in SFT lack mesothelial characteristics but express CD34 and Bcl‑2, suggesting that the tumor originates from mesenchymal tissue. Preoperative definitive diagnosis of SFT cervix is difficult.  \nKeywords: Cervix, immunohistochemistry, solitary fibrous, tumor   \nShirish Sahebrao Chandanwale, Akshi Raj, Madhuri Singh, Namit Gupta  \nDepartment of Pathology,  \nDr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Pune, Maharashtra, India  \nIntroduction  \nSolitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor with an incidence rate of 1–2 per million. It was characterized first in pleura. It has been reported at many other sites, commonly within peritoneum involving either visceral organs or abdominal and pelvic wall and deeper soft tissues of extremities, head and neck. [1‑3]  \nSFT can occur in the female genital tract (FGT), most commonly in vulva followed by uterine corpus and infrequent at other locations.[4,5] SFT involving cervix is extremely rare and handful of cases has been reported in Indian and western literature.[4‑6] Preoperative definitive diagnosis of SFT cervix is difficult. Wereport a case of SFT of the uterine cervix in 47‑year‑old female who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding.  \nCase Report  \nA 47‑year‑old female presented with abnormal uterine bleeding for 3 months with passage of blood clots 7 days ago. She gave history of occasional dysmenorrhea. She was having two children aged 15 years and 12 years. She had menopause 1 year back before presentation. On routine laboratory test, she had mild anemia.

On gynecological examination, cervix was bulky. A firm lesion was felt in cervix which bleed on touch. Clinical diagnosis of carcinoma was suspected. Colposcopy with biopsy revealed focal severe dysplasia of cervix.  \nMagnetic resonance imaging abdomen and pelvis was done. Uterus was anteverted, normal in size with endometrial thickness was of 7 mm. Myometrium showed normal intensity. Both the ovaries were normal. Cervix was bulky and showed multiloculated solid cystic lesion measuring 1.5 cm × 2.8 cm × 2 cm involving the posterior part of the cervix [Figure 1a] . Intervening hypointense septae were seen in the lesion. The possibility of a neoplastic lesion was suggested. Considering age, clinical symptoms, and radiological findings hysterectomy was done.  \nA specimen of radical hysterectomy with bilateral adnexa was sent for histopathology examination. Grossly cervix was bulky, and the wall of the cervix was thick and on cut section, it was greyish white. An ill‑defined grey white lesion measuring 1.6 cm × 2.8 cm was seen in the cervix [Figure 1b] . Uterine corpus, both the ovaries and fallopian tubes were grossly normal.  \nHow to cite this article: Chandanwale SS, Raj A, Singh M, Gup","cbCaisA0A1e55HWm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisA0A1e55HWm","pdf",1442582,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n# Case Report\n## Clinical Presentation\n## Imaging and Procedures\n## Histopathology\n## Immunohistochemistry\n# Discussion","[{\"question\":\"Why is preoperative definitive diagnosis of SFT of the cervix difficult?\",\"answer\":\"SFT of the cervix is extremely rare and clinically mimics carcinoma.
