  • Title: Recurrence and malignant transformation in solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura.
    Author: Krishnadas R, Froeschle PO, Berrisford RG.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2006 Feb; 54(1):65-7. PubMed ID: 16485194.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are mesenchymal neoplasms and recurrence with malignant progression after complete resection rarely occurs. In the case of a 76-year-old patient we found multifocal recurrence with malignant transformation within six months following primary excision. Even though the vast majority of these tumours are benign, complete resection as well as clinical and radiological follow-up are highly recommended because of the potentially adverse biological behaviour and the lack of radical treatment options other than surgery.
