Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin involving, most commonly, the pleura. Intrapulmonary SFT is a slow-growing tumor that rarely reaches giant forms. SFTs are asymptomatic and often randomly discovered by routine chest X-rays. The diagnosis requires histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations. Most of the SFTs are benign and present an indolent course. Larger tumors are more likely to be malignant and consequently associated with a worse prognosis. Despite having histopathological criteria for malignancy, the behavior of SFTs is challenging to predict. We report a case of giant intrapulmonary SFT of intermediate risk.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an extremely rare mesenchymal neoplasm usually detected in the pleura, which generally follows a benign course. The localization inside lung parenchyma has more rarely been reported. We present a case of a 51-year-old male with a dry cough, dyspnea, chest pain, and increased perspiration.

Three cases of primary giant cell tumors of the lung akin to those described in the soft tissues are presented. The patients are 3 men between the ages of 43 and 54 years who presented with nonspecific symptoms of cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath. None of the patients had any prior history of malignancy anywhere else.
