Abstract
|
|
|
Localized fibrous tumor of the pleura is a rare condition. Most follow a benign course and they are found as an incidental finding routine chest X-ray. A small proportion of these tumors are malignant and have characteristic clinical and
histopathological features.
In this paper, we report three cases of localized fibrous tumors of the pleura, one malignant associated with asymptomatic hypoglycemia, and others benign.
In a malignant, case, the tumor was resected through thoracotomy and the hypoglycemia was relieved immediately. In two benign cases, tumors on small pedicles were resected using video-assisted thoracic surgical technique.
