Abstract

Localized fibrous tumor of the pleura (LFTP) is of submesothelial fibrous origin, which has been called pleural fibroma and has been confused with mesothelioma. We experienced a case of LFTP in a twenty nine year old man. The tumor arose from the right parietal pleura with long stalk. Chest X-ray and CT scan showed a 6$\times$5$\times$4cm well-defined mass in the right costophrenic angle. Wo evidence of metastasis was noted. Exploratory thoracotomy with enbloc excision of 6$\times$5$\times$4cm mass was done. The fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathologic features indicated the tumor to be malignant, and biologic behavior was discussed.
