Chest Wall Hemangiopericytoma-Like Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura: Case Report with Computed Tomography Findings

We present a case report of a 65-year-old woman who underwent resection of a chest wall tumor.

Histologically, the tumor was diagnosed as a cellular variant of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura, with branching “staghorn” vessels and hypervascularity. The tumor thus resembl...

Solitary fibrous tumour of the mediastinal pleura: the origin detected with three-dimensional computed tomography angiography.

Computed tomography of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura abutting the mediastinum: A diagnostic challenge

Background Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) arising from the mediastinal pleura may be confused with primary mediastinal tumors. We studied the computerized tomographic (CT) findings of patients with SFTP that could suggest a diagnosis of SFTP. Materials and Methods At our hospital from January 1995 to June 2012, 39 patients with histologically confirmed SFTP were surgically treate...
