title: Bone Scintigraphy in a Patient With Giant Malignant Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura.
abstract: Chest radiograph performed in a 61-year-old woman to evaluate cough showed a large mass in the right lung. On chest CT images, the mass was measured approximately 8.5 cm. Malignancy was considered, and bone scintigraphy was performed to assess possible osseous metastases. The bone scan images demonstrated increased tracer uptake by the lung mass. The mass was surgically resected, and the pathologic examination confirmed the rare diagnosis of a malignancy solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura.
