Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors of pleura are uncommon. Sometimes they pose challenge to differentiate from lung cancer. Here, we are briefly discussing about the literature review and management principles in relation to our experience. A total of three patients were presented in thoracic oncology unit of Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute in the last year. Correct diagnosis is the key as surgical resection is often curative and surgical resection is often possible despite huge sizes. Our aim is to highlight this uncommon entity and to gain some insight into its management.
