Abstract: This case series reports on six patients with solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the extremities, ranging from 32 to 70 years old, including two males and four females. The clinical presentation, disease progression, MRI findings, histopathological examinations, and immunohistochemistry staining were analysed. All patients were positive for STAT6 markers, with two negative for CD34. The study highlights the similarities in MRI and immunohistochemistry findings among the cases, underscoring the importance of these diagnostics in establishing the diagnosis and guiding management strategies for SFT of the extremities. This study aims to analyse the clinical presentation, progression, diagnostic imaging, and histopathological features of solitary fibrous tumors in the extremities to enhance understanding and management of this rare condition.
