CTICasesSolitary fibrous tumor of the pleura
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph and angiogram show a large, well-encapsulated, hypervascular mass located in the left lower hemithorax along the fissure, with blood supply arising from intercostal and parenchymal vessels.
Key takeaways
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is a localized, mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly arises from the visceral pleura, often presenting as a mass in the fissures. They are highly vascular and can parasitize blood supply from intercostal vessels, especially in the setting of prior trauma or inflammation.
