Solitary Fibrous Tumor of Pleura Invading into the Left Atrium via Pulmonary Vein

A 67-year-old woman came to the hospital because of difficulty in breathing. After an initial clinical assessment, contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a well-circumscribed heterogeneous mass arising from the pleura adjacent to the superior and medial left pulmonary a...

description A 67-year-old woman came to the hospital because of difficulty in breathing. After an initial clinical assessment, contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a well-circumscribed heterogeneous mass arising from the pleura adjacent to the superior and medial left pulmonary artery. The mass was invading the pulmonary vein and entering the left atrium. Histopathology of the biopsy of the mass was suggestive of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura. The patient underwent pneumonectomy and resection of the left atrial mass with pericardial patch repair of the left atrium.
