Endobronchial solitary fibrous tumor
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that appears primarily in the pleura and rarely in intrapulmonary or endobronchial topography. The authors report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented obstructive respiratory symptoms for 4 years. The chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy showed an obstructive polypoid lesion located between the trachea and the left main bronc...
متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumors of the pleura.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare neoplasm of the pleura. Although an increasing number of case series have been reported in recent years, so far clinical behavior is still unpredictable. The following article presents a detailed review of the recent larger series of SFTP with particular attention to the clinical presentation, pathologic characteristics and...
متن کاملGene Expression Profiling of Solitary Fibrous Tumors
BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare spindle-cell tumors. Their cell-of-origin and molecular basis are poorly known. They raise several clinical problems. Differential diagnosis may be difficult, prognosis is poorly apprehended by histoclinical features, and no effective therapy exists for advanced stages. METHODS We profiled 16 SFT samples using whole-genome DNA microarrays and...
متن کاملMediastinal Solitary Fibrous Tumor Diagnosed by Endobronchial Ultrasound-Directed Biopsy
BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumors of the middle mediastinal space are uncommon and often not discovered until symptoms secondary to compression of adjacent structures occur. Diagnosis requires surgical biopsy and histological tissue analysis. We describe the ECHO appearance of the solitary fibrous tumor and successful non-invasive EBUS diagnosis. This method of diagnosis allowed for surgical p...
متن کاملEndobronchial Solitary Fibrous Tumor: Imaging and Bronchoscopic Findings
To the Editor: A 49‐year‐old man presented with a cough and short of breathing for 3 months’ duration. He went to different hospitals and received treatment of antibiotics for pneumonia in the left low lobe. On physical examination, cyanosis of lips and auscultation of the chest showed the left‐side breath sounds decreased. Computed tomographic (CT) scan, coronal CT and imaging of virtual bronc...
