Learn About Solitary Fibrous Tumor
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a noncancerous tumor of the lining of the lung and chest cavity, an area called the pleura. SFT used to be called localized fibrous mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma - benign; Mesothelioma - fibrous; Pleural fibroma
The exact cause of SFT remains unknown. This type of tumor affects men and women equally.
About one half of the people with this type of tumor do not show any symptoms.
If the tumor grows to a large size and pushes on the lung, it can lead to symptoms, such as:
- Chest pain
- Chronic cough
- Shortness of breath
- Clubbed appearance of the fingers
SFT is usually treated by removing the tumor.
