A case of solitary fibrous tumor incidentally detected during COVID-19 infection and treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery

Öz

Although solitary fibrous tumor is the most common benign pleural tumor, it is encountered incidentally and very rarely. A mass in the chest wall was detected in a computerized chest tomography taken due to COVID-19 infection in a 36-year-old female patient. The case with solitary fibrous tumor originating from the parietal pleura was treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. During the COVID-19 epidemic, computerized tomography of the thorax, which is frequently taken for lung involvement, can reveal pathologies related to thoracic structures as well as tumors originating from the pleura. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery recommended for the excision of pedunculated and less than 5 cm lesions; We would like to emphasize that it can be safely applied in the treatment of solitary fibrous tumors that are sessile and do not exceed 5 cm.
