title: Recurrent Intrapulmonary Solitary Fibrous Tumor With Malignant Transformation.
abstract: Intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura; the so-called inverted pattern, which appears to grow into the lung parenchyma, is extremely rare. We experienced a 66-year-old woman with an intrapulmonary SFT that recurred locally with malignant transformation 2 years after wedge resection of the left upper lobe for the primary tumor. Subsequently, she underwent a lobectomy of the residual left upper lobe. Six years after the second operation she was well, without rerecurrence. Complete excision and long-term follow-up of intrapulmonary SFTs of the pleura are important, even when the primary tumor displays benign histopathologic features.
