Abstract
A 68-year-old woman presented chest pain and exercise-induced dypnea for one year. Diagnosis was a thoracic solitary fibrous tumor. These tumors are very rare. Clinical outcome is generally good except in 13% of the cases with a malignant component. Complete surgical resection is required.
