Abstract:
A localized fibrous tumor of the pleura (LFTP) is a slow growing, rare primary pleural neoplasm. Typically, it takes the form of a well-delineated large mass lesion based on the pleura. Several radiologic descriptions of benign LFTP have been published, but the radiologic findings of malignant LFTP involving invasion of the chest wall have not been reported. We describe a case of malignant LFTP with chest wall invasion, confirmed pathologically, and review the literature.
