AbstractCalcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a benign tumor entity which can present in a variety of different sites. Till date, eight cases with a mediastinal manifestation have been published in literature. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice for this often incidentally detected tumor. Surgery of thoracic CFT may be challenging due to its localization within the mediastinum. A 10-year old boy with a right-sided thoracic pectus carinatum-like deformity was referred for further evaluation, incidentally, revealing a mediastinal mass in computed tomography (CT). Laboratory results were all within normal range. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a large tumor in the upper anterior mediastinum suggesting expansive but not infiltrative character. The tumor was displacing surrounding structures like the heart and the diaphragm. Lower venous stasis with dilation of the inferior cava vein could be demonstrated. The tumor was considered to be of benign dignity and surgical removal was indicated. Complete tumor resection could be achieved through a sternotomy approach, along with thymectomy. A partial resection of both the pericardium and diaphragm was required due to adhesion with soft tissue at those sites. The specimen's size was 320 mm × 145 mm × 100 mm, histologically confirmed as CFT. The patient showed no residual tumor at 3- and 9-month follow-up. This case is a report on a large mediastinal CFT which underwent successful complete surgical removal. Following tumor resection, prognosis is considered to be good; however, key issue is complete resection to avoid local tumor recurrence.

A calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a benign tumor of unknown etiology. A calcifying fibrous tumor is rare in the intestinal tract. A calcifying fibrous tumor is characterized by hyalinized collagenous fibrous tissue, psammomatous or dystrophic calcification, and focal lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates on histology. Magnetic resonance imaging is the standard method for evaluating the lesions of the rectum, and CFTs should be considered in differentiating the rectal wall tumors. Herein, we report a case of a 68-year-old man with a rectal wall CFT.

Summary Introduction: solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare tumor arising from mesenchymatous cells in submesothelial pleural tissue which, unlike mesothelioma, is not related to asbestos or smoking. Methods: report of four patients who underwent surgical treatment for giant SFTP and review of the pertinent literature. Results: of the four patients operated, two presented symptoms including cough, chest pain and feeling of compression, whereas the other two subjects were asymptomatic. All patients underwent complete surgical resection by wide posterolateral thoracotomy, and surgical specimens removed with minimum bleeding. None of the cases required complementary lobectomy or segmentectomy. All tumors were histologically benign. Conclusion: complete resection of the lesion is the treatment of choice in all SFTP cases. Prognosis of the benign lesion is excellent, although close follow-up is necessary. In the rarer, more aggressive forms, treatment may be complemented by adjunctive chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the benefits of which have yet to be confirmed.
