Large intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor of right lower lobe

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor is a ubiquitous neoplasm that arises most commonly from the pleura. Solitary fibrous tumor arising within lung parenchyma has rarely been reported. It is therefore not well recognized. We present here a case of 30-year-old man with large intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor of right lower lobe with review of literature. Patient underwent wedge resection of tumor through right posterolateral thoracotomy via 6th intercoastal space using a stapling device. Patient had satisfactory postoperative recovery.
