description

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare tumors with unpredictable clinical behaviour. We report about two patients with an incidental finding of an intrathoracic tumor. Preoperative diagnosis was uncertain. In both patients, a solid tumor of the pleura was resected en bloc in combination with a wedge resection of the lung following anterolateral thoracotomy. The postoperative course was eventful. Six months after primary complete resection there were no signs of tumor recurrence.
