- Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare tumors that usually have benign characteristics. These tumors are usually diagnosed in the sixth or seventh decades of life with equal frequency in both sexes. Chest pain, cough and dyspnea are most common complaints. In half of the patients, the tumor is asymptomatic and usually detected by X-ray graphics performed for another reasons. The computed tomography scan of the chest is the gold standard for diagnosis of the pleural mass due to its high sensitivity and specifity. The preoperative definitive diagnosis of PSFT is highly challenging rare clinical condition. It can be confused with a wide range of diseases from cysts to tumoral masses. The thoracotomy is necessary for definitive diagnosis and curative therapy. Complete surgical resection provides long term survival. Here we presented a case of PSFT about a patient who was admitted with hemoptysis, which is the least expected symptom of the disease, and underwent thoracotomy for definitive diagnosis and curative therapy with related literature.
