“…The majority of them are pedunculated with benign histological features [1][2][3][4][5]10]. Although they may be relatively large, these tumours are usually treated by simple excision and do not recur if resection is complete microscopically [4,11,12]. Around 12% of the SFTPs are found to be malignant and eventually lead to death through local recurrence or metastatic disease [13].…”

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.

Giant solitary fibrous tumor pleura: Clinical dilemma and diagnosis

Solitary fibrous tumors in the lung are rare neoplasms with distinct clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features. We report a giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura in a young male which remained silent clinically till it assumed gigantic proportions. Histology and immunohistochemistry were classical of a solitary fibrous tumor. Inspite of its appalling size it proved to be benign in behavior. This case depicts the vulnerability of this lesion to a clinical bungle. The report highlights the significance of clinical suspicion of this rare neoplasm and reveals the diagnostic associations and procedures to avoid emperical therapy and delay in curative surgical treatment.

“…These lesions are derived from the visceral pleura in two-thirds of cases and from the parietal pleura in one-third of cases [ 3 ]. They are rarely intrapulmonary or pericardial and exceptionally extrathoracic (thyroid, orbit, nasopharynx, nose, and meninges) [ 4 ]. The solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura occur at all ages (5–87 years) with a peak in the 6th and 7th decades; they affect equally men and women [ 4 ].…”

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare and benign primary localized tumors; they possess a malignant potential and thus should be excised. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman, who had suffered for 5 years from right basithoracic pain associated with progressive dyspnea and persistent hiccups during the last 6 months. We have not found any similar case in the literature. Further testing after excision by thoracotomy revealed a solitary fibrous pleural tumor. A brief discussion of the clinical presentation and incidence of these tumors is included.
