Pleural giant solitary fibrous tumor that presented with hemothorax

Abstract

Pleural Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) is a rare and slow growing intrathoracic neoplasm which originates from submesenchymal cells of parietal or, more commonly, visceral pleura. A 67-year old woman presented with dyspnea and pain, x-ray and thoracentezis showed a massive hemothorax was drained by small boring catheter. And Computerized tomography (CT) showed a giant mediastinal mass connected to the pleura. The tumor was removed by left thoracotomy under the operation. Grossly, the tumor was lobulated, welldemarcated and mostly encapsulated. Its weight was 754 gr. and it measured 20x10x12 cm. The patient was diagnosed as pleural solitary fibrous tumor by hystopathologic examination. In this paper, a case of pleural giant solitary fibrous tumor was shared who presented with hemothorax.

Özet

Plevral sol iter fibröz tümör (SFT) parietal ya da daha büyük oranda viseral pievranm submezen-kimal hücrelerinden köken alan yavaş büyüyen intratorasik nadir bir neoplazmdır. Dispne ve ağrı şikayetleri ile başvuran 67 yaşındaki kadın hasta da akciğer grafisi ve toraseııtez ile masif hemotoraks tanısı kondu ve küçük çaplı kateter ile drene edildi. Ve hastanın toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde plevra ile ilişkili dev mediastinal kitle görüldü. Tümör operasyona alınarak, sol torakotomi ile eksize edildi. Makroskopik incelemede tumoral kitle 1650 gr, 20 x 10 x 12 cm ölçülerde, lastik kıvamlı, iyi sınırlı, lobuler kon-turluydu. Histopatolojik incelemede olguya plevral SFT tanısı kondu. Yazımızda hemotoraks komplikasyonu ile başvuran pievranm dev soli-ter fibröz tümörü olgusunu paylaşmak istedik.
