Only about 800 cases have been reported in the medical literature. The tumor appears to be unrelated to malignant pleural mesothelioma, the most common primary tumor of the pleura.

متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumor of the pleura – analysis of 18 cases
INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) are primary tumors arising from mesenchymal cells. Immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated that the origin of these tumors is mesenchymal rather than mesothelial. The aim of this study is to present our experience with diagnosing and treating patients with SFTP. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed 18 patients treated at the Departme...
