Overview
The article reports on three patients with a solitary fibrous tumor of the chest. The first patient had a tumor in the area of the dome of the right pleural cavity which was radically resected together with the chest wall around its origin. In the second case, the tumor was attached by a vascular pedicle to the lower lobe of the right lung. This tumor was resected atypically, via thoracotomy, along with a margin of healthy lung tissue at the base of its pedicle. The last patient had a tumor of the lower lobe of the right lung, surrounding the lower pulmonary vein, which did not have a clear margin of healthy lung tissue. This finding required right lower lobectomy via posterolateral thoracotomy.
The presented cases describe rare types of tumors in the chest area which at the time of detection often reach large dimensions, necessitating extensive surgical procedures. Due to the biological nature of these tumors, long-term patient follow-up is advisable.
