Endobronchial solitary fibrous tumor: A case report with comprehensive literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Endobronchial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that account for less than 2 % of all SFTs. Diagnosis and treatment are major challenges because of their rarity and varied presentation. We present a case of endobronchial SFT that was successfully treated with minimally invasive bronchoscopic excision and review the literature to highlight the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment.

Case presentation

A 45-year-old female was referred for an incidental finding of bronchial lesion on imaging. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a well-defined, noncalcified, obstructive lesion in the left upper lobe bronchus. Flexible bronchoscopy confirmed complete airway obstruction, and the tumor was excised using a hot snare
