Thoracoscopy resection of a giant solitary fibrous tumor with double pedicles and double blood supply: a case report

Abstract

Abstract Background Solitary fibrous tumors are rare tumors derived from the pleura. A tumor generally has only one pedicle. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is generally used when a tumor is small ( 10 cm). The larger specimen can be extracted from the smaller incision by the “pulling carrot” method.
