Although it has been reported in various extra-pleural sites, the occurrence of SFT in the scrotum is extremely rare. Herein, we present a 48-year-old man who had scrotal SFT. There are very few reported cases of genitourinary SFTs, this is only the fifth report of SFT of the scrotum in the English medical literature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we report on a 48-year-old man who presented with a 5\u2009\u00d7\u20098 cm scrotal mass between his testes. Physical examination revealed a 4.7\u2009\u00d7\u20098.5\u2009cm lobulated tumor mass located between his testicles. Surgical excision of the tumor with scrotal approach was done and pathology reported a SFT. The patient was alive without tumor recurrence or distant metastasis during ongoing follow-up for 9\u2009months post-operatively..<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Scrotal SFTs are very rare and only five cases have been reported in English literature to date. Treatment often involves surgical resection, and a definite diagnosis is made with the help of immunohistochemistry. The current general consensus for the management of SFTs is long-term follow-up after surgical excision of the tumor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12894-019-0573-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,30]],"date-time":"2019-12-30T17:02:44Z","timestamp":1577725364000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Solitary fibrous tumor of the scrotum: a case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tsung-Hsin","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcelo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8724-7123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chih-Chiao","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"573_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700220103","volume":"22","author":"P Klemperer","year":"1992","unstructured":"Klemperer P, Coleman BR.
