“…The role of adjuvant therapy is doubtful because of the low cellular content and low mitotic rates of SFTPs [94][95][96]. In addition, it has not been systematically explored because of the limited number of patients [2,54,84].…”

SummarySolitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are rare. They are mesenchymal in origin. Initially, they were described in the pleura, but lately they have been reported in many other sites. Although the majority of these tumours are benign, some of them are malignant. Their unpredictable clinical course is probably related to their histological and morphological characteristics. The benign tumours may remain unproblematic for several years before changing into a malignant form. In order to define more accurately the clinical behaviour, diagnosis, management and outcome of these rare tumours, we reviewed the literature with particular attention to clinical presentation, methods of diagnosis, treatment and outcome. Furthermore, a modified algorithm was proposed for the management of these tumours.

“…The giant local pleural fibromas are a rare forms of pleural diseases and in literature they are rarely cited as single cases [4,5] or, in some cases, they are mentioned when pleural fibromas are discussed. Last year, we found three successive cases of giant pleural fibromas.…”

A 39-year-old female patient presented with a history of longstanding left chest pain and moderate breathing problems. There was no weight loss. Four years earlier she had a traumatic rib fracture on the left side. There was no professional exposure to asbestos. A soft and ill-defined mass was palpable in the left flank. Pulmonary auscultation revealed dampening at base of the left hemithorax. Blood biochemistry was normal. Figure 1 shows a frontal chest radiograph on admission. Figure 2 shows a selected slice of the obtained spiral CT after intravenous injection of iodinated contrast material. Figure 3 demonstrates a coronal T2-weighted (TR = 4.3/TE = 60 ms; Magnetom 1.5 T, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) image through the lesion. Figure 4. shows an axial T1-weighted fat saturated image (TR = 150/ TE = 4.1 ms) after intravenous injection of gadolinium.
