Abstract
Intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor is an extremely rare mesenchymal neoplasm about which very few references can be found in the literature. We present the case of a young woman with hemoptysis in whom plain-film chest radiographs showed a pulmonary mass. Contrast-enhanced MDCT showed a solid lung tumor with well-defined margins and heterogeneous enhancement. Histological study after surgical resection of the lesion revealed an intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor with an area of myxoid degeneration. We describe the clinical, radiological, and histological findings for this rare entity and review the relevant literature.
