  • Title: Extrapericardial solitary fibrous tumour of the pericardium.
    Author: Andreani SM, Tavecchio L, Giardini R, Bedini AV.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 1998 Jul; 14(1):98-100. PubMed ID: 9726622.
    Abstract:
    Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) occurs most commonly in the pleura and is extremely rare in the pericardium. The authors report a case of a 60-year-old man in whom a large mediastinal mass was accidentally discovered. Computed tomography showed involvement of the left anterosuperior mediastinum with displacement of the trachea, large vessels and oesophagus; histopathological findings after complete resection of the neoplasia demonstrated an SFT of the pericardium, the first reported case with extrapericardial pattern of growth. A review of the literature on SFTs of the pericardium is provided.
