Abstract
A 45-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film. A chest wall benign tumor arising from the parietal pleura was suggested by the chest X-ray and CT findings. The tumor was surgically removed by video assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Histological examination revealed that the tumor consisted of highly hyalinized collagenous tissue and regularly shaped spindle cells. Pathological diagnosis was solitary fibrous tumor. The patient is doing well without recurrence 3 years and 1 month after the operation.
