[Thoracoscopic resection for benign solitary fibrous tumor of the parietal pleura].
We have experienced thoracoscopic surgery for benign solitary fibrous tumor of the parietal pleura. A 46-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of chest abnormal shadow. Under thoracoscopy the tumor that was connected to the parietal pleura with a wide pedicle was completely resected with combined parietal resection of the pleura. Pathological diagnosis was a benign solitary fibrous tumor developed from the connective tissues under the parietal pleura. Thoracoscopic surgery is well indicated for a solitary fibrous tumor and wide excision of the tumor with combined resection of the pleura is important to prevent a local recurrence.
