CTICasesSolitary Chest Wall Neurofibroma
Imaging findings
CT shows a smoothly marginated, homogeneous soft tissue mass in the right lower chest wall abutting the pleura and remodeling the adjacent rib, mimicking a solitary fibrous tumor. Needle biopsy confirmed a neurofibroma.
Key takeaways
Neurofibromas are benign nerve sheath tumors that can arise in the chest wall. They present as smooth, well-defined masses that can cause local pressure-related rib remodeling, mimicking pleural tumors such as solitary fibrous tumors.
