Malignant mesothelioma and malignant pleural metastases are far more common than benign pleural tumors. Primary benign tumors of the pleura represent only 5% of all pleural tumors and include solitary fibrous tumors, lipomas and lipoblastomas, adenomatoid tumors, and calcifying fibrous tumors. Of these, solitary fibrous tumors are the most common, and will be the primary focus of this chapter. There have been fewer than a thousand cases of solitary fibrous tumor reported in the published literature since the entity was first described by Klemperer and Rabin in 1931.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1105845789 ER -
