چکیده
Primary tumors of the pleura present grossly as either diffuse or localized neoplasms. The tumors with a diffuse pattern, known as diffuse pleural mesotheliomas arising from the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, are usually highly malignant and are commonly associated with asbestos exposure. The less common localized tumor, now known as a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP), appears to arise from the submesothelial Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura
