  • Title: Giant benign fibrous tumor of the pleura in a pregnant woman: report of a case.
    Author: Cakan A, Cagirici U, Yuncu G, Yener AG.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2003; 33(3):196-8. PubMed ID: 12658385.
    Abstract:
    While most pleural neoplasms are malignant and associated with asbestos exposure, benign tumors may also occur. Benign fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare and, unless diagnosed and resected early, they may reach an enormous size and cause severe symptoms. We report the case of a pregnant woman with a giant benign fibrous tumor localized in the pleura.
