N. El Khamlichi, F. Kassimi, I. Khachine, N. Rguieg, H. Souhi, M. Mzouri, Rhorfi, A. Abid
Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumor, formerly called solitary benign fibroma, initially described in the pleura, but can also involve many extrapleural sites (pericardium, meninges, liver, pancreas). It is most often asymptomatic and of incidental radiological discovery. The diagnosis of pleural solitary fibrous tumors (PSFT) is guided by imaging, confirmed by surgery and histology coupled with immunohistochemistry. The evolution of these tumors is unpredictable and the correlation with histology is not strict.
Keywords: solitary fibrous tumor, pleura, benign, rare tumor
