Benign SFTP has a high cure rate and an 8% local recurrence rate that is usually amenable to curative re-excision. Malignant SFTP, especially the more common sessile type, has a 63% recurrence rate even with complete resection. The majority of patients with recurrent disease die of the tumor within 2 years. Nevertheless, the overall long-term cure rate for all patients is 88% to 92%.
