Solitary fibrous tumors are relatively rare neoplasms that commonly occur in the pleura, especially visceral pleura. However, an intrapulmonary site of this kind of tumors is even rarer. These tumors can be characterized by a heterogeneous evolution and have a benign or malignant behavior. Wide surgical resection is essential to cure the patient and to avoid recurrence. We present here the clinical, imaging, and histological features of a case with solitary fibrous tumor growing inside the lung.

Original Research ArticleThe production of autoantibodies after a hematopoietic stem cell allograft is a fact observed in hematology and often observed during graft versus host disease (GVHD) following an immune disturbance, however studies have shown the possibility of transferring B cells memory from a donor to the recipient and be responsible for autoimmune manifestations similar to that observed in the donor. We present here an extremely rare case of a manifestation of an isolated anti-phospholipid syndrome, 7 years after allograft in a patient whose donor is always asymptomatic. The appearance of autoantibodies was preceded by the appearance of chronic GVHD and the patient posed a management problem in the face of her persistent thrombocytopenia. The distinction between the manifestation of chronic GVHD and adoptive immunity is necessary due to the prognostic and therapeutic differences between these two entities.
