Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) of the pleura are neoplasms thought to arise from the mesenchymal tissue. Intrapulmonary malignant fibrous tumours are rare although histologically identical to pleural lesions and should be managed as such. Surgical excision with clear margins is the accepted treatment in the literature, for both benign and malignant disease. Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) of the pleura are neoplasms thought to arise from the mesenchymal tissue. They often present as a pleurally based mass on X-ray and CT, whilst there are many case series on solitary fibrous tumours arising from the pleura, intrapulmonary lesions are rare. We present a case of an intrapulmonary malignant solitary fibrous tumour and a brief literature review.
