Abstract
- Malignant solitary fibrous tumor, which arises in the anterior mediastinum, is rare. Its image findings simulate other mediastinal mass, such as malignant lymphoma, malignant thymic epithelial tumor or invasive thymoma. Here, we report a pleural malignant fibrous tumor of a 60-year-old man who is presented with a well-defined lobulating anterior mediastinal mass with pleural metastasis mimicking invasive thymoma with pleural seeding.
