title: Synchronous cerebral and pleural solitary fibrous tumour.
abstract: Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura (SFTPs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms usually originating from the visceral pleura, but they have been reported in many other sites. To the best of our knowledge, this report describes the first known case of synchronous SFTP in the left visceral pleura and brain. The SFTP of the brain was resected via craniotomy, whereas the SFTP of the pleura, widely compressing and displacing the left lower lung lobe, was resected via left thoracotomy.
