Giant solitary fibrous tumor of pleura
author
Abstract:
A 60-year-old male presented with dyspnea and chest pain. He was referred with massive bulky mass. A mass in the left lung was observed using chest X-ray (Figures 1). A computed tomography scan of the chest showed a mass on the left lung with complete lung collapse Figures 2 (A, B). The needle biopsy was performed and the case was diagnosed with solitary fibrous tumor. Subsequently, the patient underwent complete resected open thoracotomy. In our case, the mass dimension was 50 × 35 cm weighting 5.600 gr Figures 3 (A,B).

Giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura: A case report
Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare malignant pathological findings, accounting for only 5% of all pleural neoplasms. Clinical manifestations are very unspecific and over 50% of the cases are asymptomatic. The commonest clinical symptoms include cough, pains, dyspnoea, fever and weight loss. The recommended diagnostic methods include chest x-ray, CT and MRI imaging and positrone emis...
full textGiant Solitary Fibrous Tumour of Pleura
Most pleural neoplasms are metastatic in origin. Primary tumours of the pleura are rare and categorized as diffuse or localized. Diffuse or malignant mesothelioma is more common, related to asbestos exposure, and associated with a poor prognosis. Localized or solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), of the pleura is a less common neoplasm of controversial histogenesis and is unrelated to asbestos exposur...
full textSolitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.
BACKGROUND The solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare primary tumor arising from mesenchymal cells in the areolar tissue subjacent to the mesothelial-lined pleura. 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. METHODS In just over half of these ...
full textSolitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura
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 ...

BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is a rare, usually benign, and slow-growing neoplasm. Complete surgical resection for giant tumor of the pleura is challenging because of poor exposure and a large blood supply. We report the case of a giant hypervascular fibrous tumor that filled nearly the entire left hemithorax and anterior mediastinum, and its preoperative management. CASE R...

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...
