Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the surgical treatment experience of thoracic solitary fibrous tumors(SFTs),especially some spe-cial SFTs.Methods:Patients with SFTs in our department between January 2009 and May 2017 were recruited in this study and the clinical characteristics were summarized.Results:Twenty-one patients(11 men and 10 women)with an average age of 48.3 years were included.Tumor sizes ranged from 3 to 30 cm and 13 patients(61.9%)harbored pleural tumors,while 8 patients harbored tu-mors from other special thoracic sites (including 1 case of trachea SFT and 1 case of pulmonary SFT). Surgical treatment was per-formed in 19 patients,17 of whom underwent complete tumor resection and two patients underwent palliative resection.One patient did not undergo surgery and was lost to follow-up,and another patient who did not undergo surgery died because of a heart attack af-ter discharge.The 19 patients who underwent surgery were followed up for 1-96 months,3 patients of whom underwent reoperation for tumor recurrence at 12,26,and 72 months after surgery,respectively,while the remaining patients had no recurrence.Seven pa-tients(33.3%)were confirmed with malignancy after operation or biopsy.Conclusions:Thoracic SFTs are mainly from the pleura and the surgical results are favorable.Resection after recurrence can achieve favorable results.
