30. Malignant lipomatous solitary fibrous tumor of the chest - Literature overview and case report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) is a rare disease, which can occur in many organs in the body. Histopathology of SFT belongs to mesothelioma and has specific markers for immunohistochemical staining. The two most common types are hemangiopericytoma SFT and Lipomatous SFT. Most SFT are benign but can also present as malignancy. In the thorax, SFT usually originates and occurs in the pleura. Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the chest (SFTC) is very rare, and Malignant Lipomatous Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the chest (MLSFTC) is even rarer. We introduce a case of malignant LSFTC with the goal of analyzing the pathological characteristics and chest computed tomography images, wishing to add to the bank of rare lung diseases, as reference for physicians to have the correct approach when encountering a similar case.
