Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare tumor that usually originates in the pleura. Extrapleural locations are rare and, for this reason, sometimes difficult to diagnose. Malignant forms with local recurrence or distant metastases have been reported, often the result of inappropriate treatment. In this article, we report the case of SFT of the leg in a 45-year-old man. SFT of the leg is a rare occurrence, and the differential diagnosis can be difficult because it can mimic a variety of benign and malignant mesenchymal tumors; immunohistochemical analysis for CD34, CD99, vimentin and Bcl-2 is required.
