Retroperitoneal solitary fibrous tumor of the pelvis with pollakiuria: a case report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is rare soft tissue tumor, and it occurs most commonly in the pleura. Retroperitoneal SFT is generally found by palpable mass or abdominal distention. Here we report a case of SFT presenting pollakiuria.&...
