Solitary fibrous tumors are very rare in the pleura, and they are generally found incidentally. Even though they can potentially become malignant and metastasize, they have minimal clinical symptoms and can still be benign. Due to the low incidence of these tumors, there is no standard of therapy beyond surgical resection. We present an asymptomatic case of a large, rapidly expanding solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura in an elderly female.
孤立性纤维瘤在胸膜中非常罕见,通常是偶然发现的。尽管它们有可能恶变并转移,但临床症状轻微,仍可能是良性的。由于这些肿瘤发病率低,除手术切除外没有标准的治疗方法。我们报告一例老年女性胸膜巨大、快速生长的无症状孤立性纤维瘤病例。
