Article information

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare, with unpredictable clinical manifestations. By the time of diagnosis, the size and consistency of the tumor usually preclude the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques. We present a case of a 34-year-old male with a solitary fibrous tumor of the visceral pleura masquerading as a mediastinal tumor. The tumor was removed by video-assisted thoracic surgery.

Key words:
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura
VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery)
Surgery
Thoracoscopy

Los tumores fibrosos solitarios de pleura son tumores raros, que tienen una presentación clínica impredecible. Dados su consistencia y el tamaño en el que normalmente se diagnostican, no suelen ser casos en los que pueda realizarse una intervención con técnicas de cirugía poco agresiva. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 34 años afectado de un tumor fibroso solitario de pleura visceral que simulaba un tumor mediastínico y se trató con cirugía toráAcica videoasistida.

Palabras clave:
Tumor fibroso solitario de pleura
VATS (cirugía torácica videoasistida). Cirugía. Toracoscopia
