Abstract EN
Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are rare neoplasms.
These tumours are generally asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed.
Symptoms, if present, are nonspecific such as cough, dyspnea, and chest pain.
This report describes the case of a 38-year-old woman admitted to our department after the onset of a right massive spontaneous haemothorax requiring emergency surgical treatment.
Intraoperatively a bleeding pleural mass was found to be the cause of the haemothorax.
The tumour was successfully resected and the patient made an uneventful recovery.
Histological examination revealed the mass to be a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura.
