title: Synchronous solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura and lung cancer.
abstract: We report herein on a 57-year-old woman with comorbid malignant solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura and adenocarcinoma of the lung. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient presenting with these two pathological entities simultaneously. The patient was treated successfully for both diseases via a one-stage operation through median sternotomy with good results. Although the incidence of multiple primary malignancy is rare, clinicians should be cautious not to discount the possibility of two coexisting primary malignancies.
