Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the CT findings and clinicopathological features of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura(SFTP).Methods:Clinical,radiological and pathological material of 4 patients from January 2012 to August 2014 were collected and analysed retrospectively.Literatures were reviewed.Results:Of the 4 patients,SFTP occurred in 2 men and 2 women.In 1 case it was associated with the partietal pleura and in 3 cases with the visceral pleura.In 1 case it connected with the visceral pleura by a peduncle.The enhanced CT scan revealed the giant tumor heterogeneous patchy enhancement and several enhanced vessels.Photomicrograph of the histopathologic specimen showed ovoid to spindle shape cells arranged haphazardly with strands of collagen tissues.Immunohistochemistry of the tumor cells showed positive staining for CD34,Melan-A,Vimentin,Ki-67 and negative staining for PCK,SMA,S-100,Desmin,CR,HMB45.Conclusion:SFTP is a kind of rare pleura origin tumor.The radiological features of SFTP is peculiar.It is necessary to make pathologic and immunohistochemical tests to make a definite diagnosis.
