title: [Role of CT in the preoperative diagnosis of a giant benign solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura].
abstract: The authors emphasize the role of CT in the preoperative diagnosis of a giant benign solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura. CT can provide evidence of complete resection of the lesion, showing a pedunculated stalk. Aspiration cytology is not a reliable diagnostic approach.
