Introduction: Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura(SFTP) is exceedingly rare mesenchymal tumor commonly arising from the visceral pleura and accounts for <5% of all pleural tumors. Although it commonly has benign histologic characteristics, the tumor behavior is often unpredictable and less understood due to limited number of cases.
Case Presentation: We present a rare case of Intrathoracic Giant SFTP in a 65 years old female who presented with a progressive worsening of shortness of breath of 1 year duration associated with intermittent dry cough, low grade fever, easy fatigability and loss of appetite.
Introduction: Bronchial carcinoid tumors are rare, slow growing, malignant neuroendocrine tumors and account for less than 2% of all lung tumors. Early diagnosis is extremely important as the main stay of treatment is surgical excision.
Presentation Of Case: We present a rare case of bronchial typical carcinoid tumor in a 22-year-old female who presented with a complaint of intermittent productive cough with bloody sputum of 3 weeks' duration associated with wheezing, low grade intermittent fever and loss of appetite.
