A Case Report of Malignant Localized Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura with Chest Wall Inva
نویسندگان
چکیده
slow growing, primary pleural neoplasm unrelated to asbestos exposure, and accounts for fewer than 5% of pleural tumors (1). It occurs in both sexes and in all age groups, but predominantly affects those in the fifth to seventh decades of life. England et al. (2) found that 60% of these tumors were benign and 40% were malignant, as determined microscopically on the basis of cellularity, pleomorphism, mitotic activity, hemorrhage, and necrosis. Several radiologic descriptions of benign LFTP have been published (3-7), but the radiologic findings of malignant LFTP with chest wall invasion have not been reported. We describe a case in which a malignant LFTP, confirmed pathologically, invade the chest wall. Case Report

Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Lung: A Case Report
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the pleura, which arises from visceral pleura and projects into the pleural cavity. This tumor is not related to asbestos exposure or cigarette smoking (1). We report a rare case of SFT of the lung. In this case report, we present the case of a giant SFT in a 76-year-old woman who presented with the complaint of chest pain on the left...

Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma which predominantly surfaces in the retro-peritoneum and extremity. MFH of lung is a very rare condition. The diagnosis is essentially through histologic examination. However, the invasion of the chest wall or other organs might help establish the malignant nature.We report a case of a 77-year-old man who had been prese...

متن کاملSolitary Fibrous Tumor of Nasal Cavity:A Case Report
Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) of the nose and paranasal sinuses are extremely rare.These were originally described as neoplasms of the pleura originating from spindle cells. It is further sub-classified as a benign type of mesothelial tumour. Its occurrence in many extra pleural sites have been reported earlier, mainly in the liver, parapharyngeal space, sublingual glands, tongu...
متن کاملChest 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. In contrast with computed tomography, the tumor exhibited hypervascularity and was fed from the 9th intercostals artery. 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...
