Intrathoracic Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor: Case Report

1. Abstract
1.1. Introduction: Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura(SFTP) is exceedingly rare mesenchymal tumor commonly arising from the visceral pleura and accounts for < 5% of all pleural tumors.
Although it commonly has benign histologic characteristics, the tumor behavior is often unpredictable and less understood due to limited number of cases.
1.2. Case Presentation: We present a rare case of Intrathoracic Giant SFTP in a 65 years old female who presented with a progressive worsening of shortness of breath of 1year duration associated with intermittent dry cough, low grade fever, easy fatigability and loss of appetite. Complete enbloc resection was done and she was discharged improved.
