Solitary Fibrous Tumor: Case Report of Intrapulmonary Location

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors are relatively rare neoplasms that commonly occur in the pleura, especially visceral pleura. However, an intrapulmonary site of this kind of tumors is even rarer. These tumors can be characterized by a heterogeneous evolution and have a benign or malignant behavior. Wide surgical resection is essential to cure the patient and to avoid recurrence. We present here the clinical, imaging, and histological features of a case with solitary fibrous tumor growing inside the lung.

Pleural malignant fibrosolitary tumor: A rare entity

“…Solitary fibrous tumors are rare. There are no more than 1000 cases described in the literature (1). It represents 5% of all pleural tumors (1).…”

“…Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura represent a rare histological entity, belonging to the groups of pleural tumors of sub-mesothelial origin (2), therefore some authors evoke the hypothesis of its proliferation from submesothelial tissue of the pleura (1).The clinical manifestations are varied (2) and the certain diagnostic can only be made by anatomopathological examination which evaluates precise malignancy criteria.…”

The practical approach of Immuno histochemical markers in Solitary Fibrous Tumour (SFT)

“…SFT, on the other hand, does not have a consistent cytogenetic profile. Losses of portions of chromosomes 1,3,4,8,10,11,17 , and gains of portions of chromosomes 1,2,3,4,6,9,13,18 have been documented in various analyses of the latter neoplasm. 5 ., In contrast, substantial nuclear staining for NAB2 and Stat6 was seen in all 40 samples.…”

Tumor Fibroso Solitário De Pleura: Um Relato De Caso

“…Angiotomografia de tórax cortes axiais -[1,3] Janela de mediastino e pulmão, respectivamente, demonstra massa pulmonar heterogênea, de limites bem definidos, em lobo superior esquerdo com plano de clivagem nítido com artéria pulmonar sem linfonodomegalias.
