%X El tumor fibroso solitario o mesotelioma de pleura es una entidad rara derivada de c¨¦lulas mesenquimales localizadas en el revestimiento mesotelial de la cavidad pleural. Es generalmente asintom¨¢tico y usualmente tiene un comportamiento benigno. Se analiza el caso de paciente femenina de 64 a os de edad, asintom¨¢tica con una masa tor¨¢cica gigante como hallazgo casual. La tomograf¨ªa axial computarizada revel¨® una masa de aspecto redondeado, de 9 cm de di¨¢metro ocupando la base pulmonar derecha. Se resec¨® quir¨²rgicamente la lesi¨®n abord¨¢ndose mediante toracotom¨ªa derecha, usando una incisi¨®n posterolateral est¨¢ndar. La biopsia quir¨²rgica confirm¨® el diagn¨®stico. Se recomienda seguimiento a largo plazo para todos los pacientes. En esta revisi¨®n se describe la presentaci¨®n cl¨ªnica, caracter¨ªsticas radiol¨®gicas, hallazgos histol¨®gicos y tratamiento de esta neoplasia. Solitary fibrous tumor or mesothelioma of the pleura is a rare entity derived from mesenchymal cells located in the submesothelial lining of the pleural space. It is generally asymptomatic and usually has a benign behavior. We analyze the case of an asymptomatic 64 year-old female with a giant thoracic mass revealed incidentally on a chest radiograph. Chest computed tomography revealed a round shaped mass, 9 cm in diameter occupying the right thoracic base. The tumor was resected by a right thoracotomy, using a standard posterolateral incision. The postoperative course was uneventful. Intraoperative biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Long-term follow-up is recommended for all patients. In this review, the clinical presentation, radiologic features, histologic findings and treatment for this tumor are described.
