(A, B, C) Computed tomographic scans showing intrapericardial giant solitary fibrous tumor and its relationships with the surrounding structures. (A) Inferior wall of the heart is displaced and distortion of mitral valve is evident in the left ventricle inflow tract; the arterial feeders originate from the posterior descending artery (B, arrow) and from the circumflex artery (C, arrow). (D) gross features of the tumor after operation (arrow: vessels).

Microscopic features of the tumor, showing solid proliferation of monomorphic spindle-shaped fibroblastic cells intermingled with broad collagenous fibers. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin; ×20. (B) Masson's trichrome; ×40. The spindle cells display (C) diffuse Bcl-2 immunostaining (×40) and (D) intense immunoreactivity for CD34. (Immunoperoxidase; ×40.)
