Approximately 25 cases have been reported in the literature to date. This study reports the case of a 43-year-old man referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of a pelvic tumor after careful examination. The tumor marker levels were within normal limits. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor, demonstrating primarily low signal intensity. It showed a capsule-like rim at the left lobe of the prostate, suggesting that the tumor was partially invading the rectal wall. Histopathological examination of needle-core biopsies showed spindle cell neoplasm with small and fusiform cells, strongly expressing signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) with a ramifying vascular network. Therefore, the clinical diagnosis of the patient was SFT of the prostate and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor was composed of spindle cells with patternless and staghorn patterns. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a strong expression of STAT6. Furthermore, the tumor was partially positive for CD34. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with SFT of the prostate. Two years after the initial diagnosis, the patient was alive with normal erectile function, continence status, and no evidence of the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57111152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,24]],"date-time":"2021-10-24T22:07:11Z","timestamp":1635113231000},"page":"1152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Prostate: A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Yasumichi","family":"Takeuchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4932-0497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daiki","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2589-1722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keita","family":"Nakane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kota","family":"Kawase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manabu","family":"Takai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0362-8624","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Koji","family":"Iinuma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiemi","family":"Saigo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Translational Research, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4750-2046","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatsuhiko","family":"Miyazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2980-127X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takuya","family":"Koie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu 5011194, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Fletcher, C.D.M.
