| Abstract | A woman in her early 70s was found to have incidental finger clubbing at a fracture clinic consultation for an unrelated problem. She reported no associated respiratory symptoms and was referred back to her General Practitioner for further investigation. A chest radiograph revealed a large left-sided mass. This was characterised as a pleural-based mass on CT, resulting in localised atelectasis and mediastinal shift. A CT guided biopsy revealed histology consistent with a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura and the patient was referred for thoracotomy and resection. |
