Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura presenting dry cough induced by postural position

Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2009 Dec;15(6):401-3.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is one of the uncommon diseases. About 40% of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are of a visceral and peduncled type. Several visceral pleural tumors have motility. A proof of motility of the intrathoracic tumor is useful for preoperative diagnosis. We report a resected case of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura presenting dry cough induced by postural position.
