- Abstract: We present the multidetector CT findings with a pathologic correlation for the case of a solitary fibrous tumor located in the trachea. The MDCT revealed a well-circumscribed intraluminal mass arising from the trachea, with strong nodular enhancement in the periphery of the mass. The enhancement pattern of the mass corresponded histopathologically to a focal hypocellular area in the center and prominent blood vessels along the periphery of the mass. We also present volume-rendered and virtual bronchoscopic images of this rare submucosal tracheal tumor.
