| Popis: | Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are usually benign. However, malignancy is observed in 13% of the cases. The authors report two cases of 27 and 69 year-old patients, presenting chest pain and dyspnoea. The roentgenograms and computed tomography scanning revealed a pleural tumour in both cases. The patients underwent complete resections of these tumours. The immunohistochemical study confirmed the diagnosis of malignant solitary pleural fibroma. The patients succumbed to their disease secondary to local recurrences. Histopathology is very helpful in the diagnosis of malignant pleural fibroma. Surgery and long-term follow-up are mandatory. |
