Abstract

Background Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura (SFTP) is a rare condition. Clinical symptoms and non-specific radiological features in both tumors make preoperative diagnosis difficult to establish. Case presentation A Javanese 47-year-old female complained of chest pain and shortness of breath which an X-ray and CT-Scan of the thorax showed giant cell metastases in the lung. Signs and symptoms indicate pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) and the patient underwent thoracic surgery which was first performed with angiographic embolization. Furthermore, an anatomical pathology analysis was performed with suspected SFTP, supported by the IHC test, which found CD34 (+), EMA (−), and S100 (−). Thoracic surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is recommended in SFTP patients. Discussion The SFTP and PSP have non-specific clinical symptoms and radiological features. Anatomic pathology and IHC test are definitive diagnostic tools from SFTP and PSP. Establishing a preoperative diagnosis of SFTP and PSP is quite difficult. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for both. Conclusion The comparison of SFTP and PSP can be seen results of the anatomical pathology analysis and IHC test.
