Abstract:
The Solitary Fibrous Tumour of Pleura has rarely been observed. A new case has been reported. This tumour is often asymptomatic and mostly discovered by chance. A well delimited and round opacity is demonstrated on the chest X-ray. computerized tomography confirms the fleshy nature of this tumour with inhomogeneous enhancement. The treatment is a complete surgical excision. The prognosis is excellent, if diagnosed early.
