title: [Giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura treated by video-assisted surgery: a case report].
abstract: Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare, with unpredictable clinical manifestations. By the time of diagnosis, the size and consistency of the tumor usually preclude the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques. We present a case of a 34-year-old male with a solitary fibrous tumor of the visceral pleura masquerading as a mediastinal tumor. The tumor was removed by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
