Case report of medical thoracoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy in the workup of giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura

摘要

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare tumor of fibroblastic origin. It can be quite vascular, and its surgical management carries the risk of a major intra-operative bleed. The pre-operative use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to visualize the vascular supply of the tumor has not been reported.
