Background: The majority of the patients with a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura are asymptomatic, and rupture of an SFT with hemothorax is rare.
Case Presentation: A 48-year-old man was taken by ambulance to our hospital because of sudden onset of left chest pain. Two months before the referral, a tumor was detected in the left upper lobe of the lung by screening computed tomography at another hospital, and further observation was recommended, because the tumor was suspected to be benign.
