Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura is a rare, generally benign, neoplasm that accounts for less than 5% of all pleural tumors. However, 10% to 30% of SFTs display aggressive behavior with local recurrence, malignant transformation, and distant metastasis. We report a case of multiple recurrent SFTs of the thorax in a 77-year-old Korean woman. During a 24-year period, she underwent six surgical resections for six recurrent SFTs. The tumor eventually underwent morphologically malignant transformation. This unique case highlights the necessity of long-term follow-up in cases of SFT because of the potentially malignant biological behavior of this type of tumor.
胸膜孤立性纤维瘤（SFT）是一种罕见的、通常为良性的肿瘤，占所有胸膜肿瘤的比例不到 5%。然而，10%至 30%的 SFT 具有侵袭性行为，表现为局部复发、恶性转化和远处转移。我们报告了一例 77 岁韩国女性的多发复发性胸腔 SFT。在 24 年期间，她因 6 个复发性 SFT 接受了 6 次手术切除。肿瘤最终发生了形态学恶性转化。这个独特的病例强调了对 SFT 进行长期随访的必要性，因为这种类型的肿瘤具有潜在的恶性生物学行为。
