  • Title: [Thoracoscopic resection of localized fibrous tumor of the pleura; report of a case and review of the Japanese literature].
    Author: Araki K, Nakamura H, Fukui H, Ikeda M.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2003 May; 56(5):419-22. PubMed ID: 12739368.
    Abstract:
    A 61-year-old female was admitted with abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a clearly localized flat tumor at the peripheral region of the left lung. We suspected localized fibrous tumor of the pleura (LFTP) and performed video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Under the thoracoscopy, the tumor was connected to the visceral pleura with a short pedicle and completely resected with safety margin. Pathological findings, including immunohistochemical examination, definitely revealed benign LFTP. VATS is a good indication for the diagnosis and treatment of LFTP. This case was reported together with some reviews of the literature.
