Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura: clinical characteristics, surgical treatment and outcome

Abstract

Surgical resection provided cure in all the patients with benign tumors. As insufficiency of exeresis is associated with all recurrences in malignant tumors, completeness of resection is in our experience the best prognostic factor in these forms.

Síndrome Doege-Potter. Reporte de caso

“…El pronóstico es bueno en la mayoría de pacientes, especialmente en los tumores benignos extirpados totalmente. La exéresis incompleta del tumor esta relacionada con recurrencia local (la tasa de recurrencia es de 2-8%) (14,15) y metástasis a distancia (16). La tasa de sobrevida a 10 años, es de 97% para los tumores benignos y de 89% para los tumores malignos (16).…”

“…La exéresis incompleta del tumor esta relacionada con recurrencia local (la tasa de recurrencia es de 2-8%) (14,15) y metástasis a distancia (16). La tasa de sobrevida a 10 años, es de 97% para los tumores benignos y de 89% para los tumores malignos (16). En nuestra paciente, la resección fue completa, lo que explica la ausencia de episodios de hipoglicemia después de la cirugía y un buen pronóstico a largo plazo.…”

Intrapulmonary Solitary Fibrous Tumour Of The Lung: A Very Unusual Presentation

“…To date there has been no report concerning postsurgical recurrence in published intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumours, inclusive of the present case. It is clear that long-term follow-up of these patients is necessary (1,4,8). In the present case the follow-up period after surgery was 34 months.…”

“…After several decades of controversies, now it is generally agreed that it originates from mesenchymal cells of submesothelial tissue of the pleura (4). Most of these tumours project into the pleural cavity in a pedinculated manner from the visceral pleura (2,4,5).…”

“…After several decades of controversies, now it is generally agreed that it originates from mesenchymal cells of submesothelial tissue of the pleura (4). Most of these tumours project into the pleural cavity in a pedinculated manner from the visceral pleura (2,4,5). Inward tumour growth into the lung parenchyma from the visceral pleura is infrequent and a pure intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumour without morphologic and histologic attachment to the visceral pleura has been described very rarely.…”
