Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Lung: A Case Report
Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the pleura, which arises from visceral pleura and projects into the pleural cavity. This tumor is not related to asbestos exposure or cigarette smoking (1). We report a rare case of SFT of the lung. In this case report, we present the case of a giant SFT in a 76-year-old woman who presented with the complaint of chest pain on the left side for several months; SFT was proved on examination.
