Abstract:
Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon submesothelial mesenchymal neoplasm that primarily arises from the pleura. Most solitary fibrous tumors have a benign course, and the single most important predictor of the clinical outcome is the ability to excise the entire lesion. We experienced a case of CSF leakage through a subarachnoid-pleural fistula after resection of a malignant solitary fibrous tumor and the involved rib. We detected CSF leakage via performing CT myelography and we treated this case with hemilaminectomy and dura repair.
