A Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura Revealed by Hiccups

الملخص EN

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare and benign primary localized tumors; they possess a malignant potential and thus should be excised.

We report a case of a 43-year-old woman, who had suffered for 5 years from right basithoracic pain associated with progressive dyspnea and persistent hiccups during the last 6 months.

We have not found any similar case in the literature.

Further testing after excision by thoracotomy revealed a solitary fibrous pleural tumor.

A brief discussion of the clinical presentation and incidence of these tumors is included.
