The patient is Mrs. N.T.L (64 years old, in Thai Nguyen).It is known that the patient discovered a tumor 1 year ago but refused to surgery because the tumor was small, without any discomfort.Recently, patients with symptoms of shortness of breath increased but still hesitated to go to the doctor, until the health is seriously reduced, dropping 5 kg to go to the hospital.
The result of a computerized tomb at Hanoi Oncology Hospital shows that the chest must have a solid mass of 20x15 cm crushing the lungs, intermediate infection, chest wall.The patient is conducted a biopsy of tumors, the results of the anatomy are solitary fibroids.The patient was later assigned to treat tumor surgery, but the prognosis of surgery was difficult due to thin patients, large tumor size occupied most of the chest cavity, and there were many newly created circuits.

Dr.Phan Le Thang - Head of the Department of Surgery on demand, Hanoi Oncology Hospital said that the surgical team had to consult carefully before surgery because the surgical operations must be performed in the surgical field extremely narrow.The tumor is rich in pulse, so the surgeon must have meticulous surgery, find and control the source of feed to ensure the safety of the surgery and limit blood loss for patients.
The surgery was performed successfully, the tumor took out a weight of more than 2 kg.During surgery, the patient did not have to add blood intake, recover well, and were drained to pleural drainage on the 3rd day after surgery, discharged after 5 days.Anatomy after surgery: Solar pleural fibroids 1.
According to the doctor's assessment, in case of this large size tumor is quite rare, the fact that the patient for long not only does it not only makes the surgery difficult but also has the risk of malignant changes and influence.Life.Therefore, when indicated for treatment, patients should not hesitate, miss "gold time" for healing.
Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura (SFTP) is a rare tumor, arising from the medium tissue cell of the pleura.The majority of pleural poisoning is benign, but about 12-22% of cases may become malignant.
Symptoms of solitary fibroids are often unclear and only appear when the tumor is large, causing compression symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain or prolonged cough.Image exploration plays an important role in the diagnosis, solitary fibroids usually appear in the form of a blurry, solitary mass on X-ray or chest CT.The tumor may have clear, circular or oval roads and sometimes stalks.The biopsy of the patient surgery plays an important role, usually conducted before treatment helps to determine the exact nature of the tumor.
Surgery plays a decisive role in the treatment of pleural poisoning fibroids because this is the only method to completely eliminate tumors and reduce the risk of recurrence.In most cases, thorough surgery removes the tumor to bring good prognosis and high survival rate for patients.Prognosis: benign pleural poison often has good prognosis after surgery, but it is necessary to monitor for a long time because of the risk of recurrence or converting into malignant.
