Abstract

Solid lesions in the pleura could be benign, malignant, or borderline processes, the most common lesion being pleural thickening. Among pleural tumors, malignant lesions are more common as compared to benign lesions. Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare tumors of the pleura, originating from the mesenchymal tissue, which can have malignant transformation on some occasions. It is difficult to differentiate the pleural tumors in radiology, and histopathology is required to make a definitive diagnosis. Usually requiring surgery, few cases can have recurrence despite complete resection.
