• Abstract:

  Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare neoplasm originating in mesenchymal tissue, with fibroblastic differentiation, with the potential to form throughout the body, and is notable for its rarity. It has an excellent prognosis,but caution should be exercised due to its unpredictable biological behavior and course. In addition, most patients are asymptomatic or present with nonspecific symptoms of the pathology. The objective of this study was to report the case of a patient with a solitary fibrous tumor of the lung and to review the scientific literature on the subject. The bibliographic search was conducted over a period of time in databases of scientific journals and articles, using studies in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and addressing the importance of early diagnosis, aiming at better treatment by the medical profession and a favorable prognosis for patients.
