Solitary fibrous tumor of Pleura - 1 case report -
흉막에 발생한 고립성 섬유종 - 외과적 치험 1례 -
Abstract
Solitary fibous tumor of pleura is a rare and slow vowing neoplasm. The histogenesis of this tumor is thought as mesenchymal origin by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural bases. This case report is of a 69-year-old female who presented severe dyspnea and orthopnea with long-term history. Preoperative chest X-ray an chest CT revealed huge and hemithorax-occupying heterogenous mass and cardiomegaly. She underwent surgical resection and a 22 X 18 X 10 cm sized visceral pleural based mass was evacuated. Histologic findings of tumor showed patternless proliferation in a fibrocollagenous and well vasculized stroma. Immnohistochemical staining revealed strong positive in CD34, that are compatible with solitary fibrous tumor of pleura. The patient was discharged without any complications and no evidence of recurrence was found after 2 years.
