Abstract 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.
