A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for the evaluation of an asymptomatic hepatic mass detected incidentally during a health checkup. Routine laboratory values, including tumour markers and serological tests for the hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus, were negative. Computed tomography (CT) examination demonstrated a 7 x 5 cm well-circumscribed, oval-shaped mass showing exophytic growth from segment 4 to the adjacent gallbladder fossa (Fig. 1A). During a tri-phasic CTscan, the mass showed strongly enhancing hyper-attenuation compared with liver parenchyma, from the arterial phase to the delayed phase imaging (Fig. 1B). Surgical exploration revealed a whitish tumour that protruded from segment 4 and was attached to the neighbouring liver tissue by a short pedicle. Grossly, the tumour was firm, well demarcated and revealed a whorled cut surface (Fig. 1C). Histological findings were compatible with a solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) of the liver (Fig. 1D).
