Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the lung is a rare neoplasm, usually originating from lung pleura. We present a case report of a 57-year-old male with no significant medical history who was incidentally diagnosed with an SFT of lung parenchyma on chest computed tomography scan. Radiological imaging revealed a well-defined mass in the left lower lobe of the lung. Biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor. This case highlights the importance of considering SFT in the differential diagnosis of lung masses, as its clinical presentation and radiological features can mimic those of more common pulmonary malignancies.
