  • Title: Giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.
    Author: Wu M, Chen RK, Gurung L.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2005 Jun; 53(3):185-8. PubMed ID: 15926103.
    Abstract:
    A 42-year-old woman developed an exceedingly big, solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) that occupied the whole right thorax. She complained of worsening dyspnea as her right lung was completely compressed and the mediastinum was pushed to the left side. A successful resection was performed; after reassembly, the tumor measured 20 cm x 22 cm x 30 cm and weighed 5.2 kg. The squashed right lung reached 60 % re-expansion postoperatively and the patient is in good health at 38 months' follow-up.
