Intrapericardial solitary fibrous tumor: A case report and review of literature

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm mostly originates from pleura, but rarely from other parts of the body including pericardium. We report a case of a 44‐year‐old woman with dyspnea and intermittent edema in whom a large intrapericardial mass was discovered by echocardiography. C...

Zusammenfassung:Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm mostly originates from pleura, but rarely from other parts of the body including pericardium. We report a case of a 44‐year‐old woman with dyspnea and intermittent edema in whom a large intrapericardial mass was discovered by echocardiography. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a focal pericardial calcification in right AV grove with pressure on right ventricle and right atrial, with no connection to cardiac chambers. Histopathological findings after complete resection of the mass revealed fibroconnective tissue with heavy calcification and no evidence of inflammation or malignancy. We reviewed the literature on pericardial solitary fibrous tumors up to 2020.
