“…Magnetic resonance imaging is helpful in differentiating the tumor from other structures and in confirming intrathoracic localization when the tumor abuts the diaphragm [3,49]. Unfortunately, MRI patterns are quite variable in both benign and malignant SFTP [48,53].…”

“…Preoperative CT and MRI can help in assessing the relationships between the tumor and the associated structures, although MRI is more sensitive than CT for defi ning the tumor nature and its neighboring structures. 8 Sometimes specialized examinations such as angiogram are needed. There are reports of en bloc chest wall resection or excision of the diaphragm, pleura, and pericardium.…”

Mediastinal solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rarely found in adults and there are few reports describing primary mediastinal SFT invading the diaphragm. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with a large right inferior mediastinal SFT. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the tumor invading the right lower lobe of the lung and the right hemidiaphragm, with displacement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right lobe of the liver. Angiogram showed IVC stenosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of complete resection of the tumor combined with right lower lobectomy of the lung and partial resection and reconstruction of the right diaphragm with a Dacron flap.

“…As the disease progresses, some atypical symptoms may appear, such as chest pain, cough, sputum production, weakness and weight loss. Early pleural SFT is also asymptomatic [8,9], but disease development may result in some typical manifestations. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is observed in about 20% of cases, which may result from production of hyaluronic acid or hepatocyte growth factor by the tumor [10-12].…”

Primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma is very rare, and there is a lack of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. An asymptomatic 75-year-old man was referred to us after a right pleural nodule was found on computed tomography during a routine health examination. He underwent surgery for his pleural tumor twice over the following 2 years. Histopathological examination eventually led to a diagnosis of primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma.
