A solitary fibrous tumor arising from the thymus.
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are localized mesenchymal lesions which most frequently arise in the pleura but have also been observed in many other sites. SFTs arising from the thymus are relatively rare, however, and only a few cases have been reported to date. We report such a case in our current study.
