Abstract
|
|
|
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura has been classified as a type of mesothelioma. This tumor have been recently described and distinguished from the mesothelioma, immunohistochemically and electromicroscopically.
This 65 years female was admitted with right chest pain, coughing and dysnea. Chest X-ray ad C-T scan showed a huge mass in the right thorax. Right thoracotomy was done and a 12×12×6cm(400gm) sized mass was excised, and the tumor had
metastasized
to
the diaphragm, parietal pleura and lung parenchyma.
Microscopically, the tumor is composed of oval-round and plump spindle cells with diffuse pattern. There are occasional mitoses(3/10HPFs) and invasion to lung parenchyma. The immunohistochemical and electromicroscopical findings are consistent
with
malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.
We experienced a case of pleural malignant solitary fibrous tumor and report this case with the review of literature.
