RESUMEN
El tumor fibroso solitario pleural es una neoplasia infrecuente originada en las células submesoteliales de la superficie pleural. Generalmente se manifiesta como una masa exofítica que crece hacia dicho espacio comprimiendo estructuras adyacentes. Su diferencia con el mesotelioma pleural maligno no sólo yace en su origen histológico, sino también en los antecedentes epidemiológicos y el curso clínico de la enfermedad. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una masa pleural gigante de 11 años de evolución, los inconvenientes suscitados con el diagnóstico y, finalmente, la resolución quirúrgica definitiva.
ABSTRACT
The solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is a rare neoplasm originating from submesothelial cells of the pleural membrane. Its usual manifestation is as an exophytic mass that grows into the pleural cavity compressing adjacent structures. The difference with malignant pleural mesothelioma does not only lie in its histological origin, but also in the epidemiological history and clinical course of the disease. We report a patient with a giant pleural mass of 11 years of evolution, the problems arising for the diagnosis, and finally the definitive surgical treatment.
