Pleural hyaline plaques are discrete, multiple, usually bilateral, irregular thickenings involving the parietal pleura. The association of pleural plaques with occupational and environmental exposure to asbestos has been shown convincingly. We have experienced a case of pleural plaques involving bilateral parietal pleura which was exposed to asbestos for thirty years.

Localized fibrous tumor of pleura is submesothelial origin and related terms with localized mesothelioma, giant sarcoma of visceral pleura, post-inflammatory tumor of the pleura, pleural fibroma, submesothelial fibroma. This tumor is rare. We experienced a case of localized fibrous tumor.This 66 years old female was admitted with 2 years left persistant flank pain and mild dyspnea. Chest X-ray and CT scan showed a 12x10cm well-defined huge mass in the left subpulmonic area, and not metastatic lesion of any organs.Exploratory thoracotomy was done and a 14x10x8cm [650gm weight] sized mass was excised.The patient was discharged without any complications postoperatively.

Localized or solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura has been classified as a type of mesothelioma, arising from the submesothelial connective tissue cells. The preoperative diagnosis of the tumor at the cytologic or histologic level is very important for the proper handling of the lesion. This preoperative diagnosis is now possible by means of the advance in the transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) techniques and in the very experience of the cytopathologists. We describe FNA cytologic feature of two cases of SFT arising from the pleura. Cytologic, histologic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic characteristics of pleural SFT are discussed. The tumor cells of SFT are spindle or oval in shape with a variable amount of cytoplasm. They are arranged in irregular trabeculae intimately associated with capillaries. A unique cytologic feature observed in this tumor is that thick, eosinophilic, amorphous collagen bundles are scattered between tumor cells.

흉막에 발생한 고릴성 섬유종은 비교적 회귀한 질환으로 알려져 있으며, 대부분 장측 흉막에서 발생하고 벽측 홍막에서 발생되는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 48세 여자환자에서 우흉곽내 벽측 흉막에서 발생한 거대 고립성 섬유종 1례를 수술 치험하였다. 환자는 10개월전 부터 발생한 호흡곤란이 주증상이었고, 술전 흉부전산화 단층될영상 우측 폐실질을 주변으로 밀어내는 이종의 종괴형태를 보였다. 수술 소견상 종괴는 피낭에 싸여 있었고, 벽측 흉막에서 기 시하였다. 절제된 종괴의 크기는 20cmX15cmX11cm였고, 무게는 2200gm에 이르렀다. 환자는 합병증없이 퇴원하였으며 술후 6개월 간 추적 관찰하였으나 재발의 소견없이 양호한 상태를 보이고 있다.

The thoracoscopic study was reported on 21 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax requiring surgical management, and clinical values of thoracoscopic examination on spontaneous pneumothorax were also discussed. patients were treated in the Department of .Thoracic Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital for the period of two Years from May 1972 to April 1974. For exact detection of etiologic factors on spontaneous pneumothorax, the thoracoscopic examination in the intrapleural space was performed in parallel with X-ray study. this study, the difference of diagnostic and therapeutic significance between radiological and thoracoscopic findings were observed and compared simultaneously. The results are summerized as follows: Patients age was distributed between 3 and 70 years old with highest incidence in the age group of sixty decade [33. 3%], and sex ratio of male to female was 5:2. The tuberculous processes which developed superficial subpleural layer in the lung parenchyme, on the pulmonary surface could be observed by thoracoscopic examination in a characteristic picture. detection ratio of pulmonary tuberculosis by the radiologic study to that by thoracoscopy was 8:2. The adhesion between the visceral and the parietal pleura which could possibly make a rupture of the alveola and the visceral pleura was found to be localized in a small area of the lung surface. The other part of the lung surface was free of the adhesion and, therefore, the movement of the lung took place completely without any difficulty. The ruptured orifice of the pleura and pathological changes surrounding the orifice can be detected by thoracoscopy, but not by other means such as radiologic examination. A single tuberculous bleb and multiple emphysematous blebs were found on 6 cases out of 21 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax. Among these cases, radiologic Study revealed the bleb only in one patient. On the other hand, the blebs were found in all the six patients by means of thoracoscopic examination. It gives the detection ratio of bleb by radiologic study to that by thoracoscopy was 1:6. By thoracoscopy, the rupture on the lung surface were visualized on the 10 patients out of a total of 21 patients [10 patients of visual rupture]. However, the rupture of the pleura was not observed on the rest of 11 patients even by thoracoscopic examination [11 patients of non visual rupture]. Five patients [50%] out of ten who had the visual rupture on the lung surface was required a surgical operation to remove pneumothorax. For the patients who were detected to have the visual rupture of the pleura by thoracoscopy, be considered in the early stage of closed thoracostomy. of 21 patients, 16 patients [11 patients of non visual rupture of the pleura and 5 patients of visual rupture of the pleura] who received no surgical management, were treated with closed thoracostomy with continuous suction, and the` pneumothorax was healed completely up in each cases. Therapeutic measures for the remaining 5 patients of visual rupture of the pleura who were subjected to surgical approach for radical treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax were accordingly complicated, and the following different procedures were properly indicated case by case, that is, rib resection thoracostomy, simple closure of ruptured visceral pleura, wedged resection of the lung, and lobectomy.

흉통을 주소로 내원한 34세 남자 환자에서 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영상 좌측 흥부에 종괴와 흉막수가 발견되었다. 개흉술을 실시하여 벽측늑막에서 기원된 종괴를 제거하였으며 종괴는 저분화 활막육종으로 진단되었다. 벽측늑막에서 기원한 활막육종은 드문 질환으로 저자들은 이를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

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.

A 44-year-old man was transferred to our department for mediastinal mass. He had suffered from only an easily fatiguable condition for 1 month. A physical examination and laboratory finding of the patient disclosed no abnormality. A chest radiograph showed a soft tissue tumor in the posterior mediastinum. It was well circumscribed and ovoid. Invasions to adjacent organs were not seen. Therefore it was though the 5th intercostal space. The tumor mass was attached to the visceral pleura of the right upper lobe by a pedicle and this pedunculated tumor laid entirely within the pleural cavity. Excision of the tumor which measured 7$\times$7$\times$3cm was done easily. Pathologic studies confirmed the diagnosis of localized fibrous tumor of the pleura. Localized fibrous tumor of the pleura is rare, This tumor along ith the evidence from ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies has led most researchers to conclude that localized fibrous tumor is not of the mesothelial origin but arises in the submesothelial connective tissue.

Solitary fibrous tumor on the pleura is rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis on a peripheral pulmonary nodule. Cytologic features of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is not familar to the pathologist and may be misdiagnosed as malignancy. We report fine needle aspiration cytologic(FNAC) findings of a case of solitary fibrous tumor misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma in a 48-year-old woman. The FNAC displayed a mixture of bland-looking spindle cells and clusters of epithelioid cells, which have hyperchromatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The helpful finding to distinguish It from other circumscribed benign and malignant lesions is the presence of fibromyxoid matrix admixed with blood vessels and thin collagen fibers. Familiarity with these features is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
