Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura: a case report and review of clinical, radiographic and histologic findings

We present a case of solitary fibrous tumor of pleura (SFTP) in a 63-year-old male. Clinical manifestations of this entity, including paraneoplastic syndromes, are discussed, albeit absent in our presented case. Furthermore radiographic findings and pathologic correlations are provided. SFTP remains a rare neoplasm for which radiographic features are suggestive yet nonspecific, and immunohistochemistry remains as the diagnostic method of choice.
