Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura presenting as an aneurysm-like lesion with the strongly contrasted tumor stain by angiography.
We treated a patient with solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFT) whose angiograms demonstrated its feeders and strongly contrasted tumor stain. Although no one has clearly identified the specific features of SFT on angiograms, SFT can be suspected in the clinical setting if a localized chest wall tumor presents with the feeders and strongly contrasted tumor stain shown by angiography.
