Solitary Fibrous Tumors: Analysis of 5 Cases and Literature Review

The solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm derived from CD34+ dendritic stromal cells, primarily found in the pleura but also occurring in other sites like the lung and peritoneum.It accounts for approximately 5% of pleural tumors.Respiratory symptoms, such as cough and dyspnea, typically result from the compression of adjacent structures.The treatment of choice remains surgical, involving complete excision of the tumor, often requiring extensive resections.The prognosis is generally favorable for benign forms, although postoperative monitoring is crucial due to a risk of recurrence, particularly in more aggressive cases; surgery should also be considered in the event of local recurrence, if technically feasible.This study aims to analyze the clinical presentation, pathological findings, and outcomes of five patients diagnosed with SFT, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and effective management.
