Recurrent localized fibrous tumor of the pleura.
Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2006 July
Localized fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare. They are often asymptomatic and may have symptoms based on size, bronchial invasion, or hormone production, or a combination of these. Complete resection offers the best chance of cure. However, recurrence is reported in a significant number of patients and can often be treated by repeated resection, albeit with increasing difficulty. We present a case in which delayed recurrence occurred after excision of such a tumor. This required a chest-wall resection and reconstruction after which a second recurrence occurred. Further thoracotomy including a latissimus dorsi free flap procedure was needed for a third-time recurrence.
