Solitary fibrous tumors are mostly noncancerous overgrowth arising from the mesenchymal tissue. The mesenchyme is the middle layer of the three main germ layers of an embryo: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Solitary fibrous tumors are comprised of fibroblasts and related cell types. These rare tumors can develop in any part of the body. However, these tumors are commonly found in the pleura, which is the area in the lining of the lung and chest cavity. Other parts of the body where these rare tumors can form include the spinal cord, dura, head and neck, arms and legs, abdominal parenchymal organs, retroperitoneum, peritoneum, and pelvic organs. The exact cause of formation of the tumor is unknown. Solitary fibrous tumors were previously known as localized fibrous mesotheliomas.
One of the known side effects of solitary fibrous tumors is a slow-growing painless mass with symptoms, such as increased skin temperatures over the tumor, telangiectasia (abnormal dilation of the blood vessels) over the tumor, varicose veins in the area of the tumor, abnormal vibration of pulse over the tumor, and restriction of joint movement (if the tumor is near to a joint). In rare cases, solitary fibrous tumors of soft tissue may cause hypoglycemia, while the side effects of solitary fibrous tumors in the pleura include chest pain, a persistent cough, and shortness of breath.
The body systems harmed by depending on where the tumors are located. Moreover, mesenchymal tissues can be part of many organs.
There is no information on what foods or nutrients exactly prevent solitary fibrous tumors. Nonetheless, there are foods that can help prevent tumors, especially cancerous ones. These include garlic, broccoli, Brazil nuts, lemonade, blueberries, artichoke, salmon, kiwifruit, scallions, and sauerkraut.
Treatment for solitary fibrous tumors often involves a surgical treatment to remove the tumor, even if they are not cancerous. If benign tumors are not removed, they have the potential to become cancerous.
