| Â | Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura |
 | | Tumors arising from the parietal pleura were revealed to be more difficult to resect than those from the visceral pleura because of their size and adhesion to the chest wall requiring extrapleural resection. | | | Because of the difficulty in making diagnosis by needle biopsy, operation (re-tumor extirpation combined with the chest wall) was done. | | | An accurate diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura can be made by a minimally invasive procedure; this allows for a more informed allocation of surgical resources. |

| | Differentiation of the tumor from other conditions of the pleura and other types of cancer can be difficult, even when experienced pathologists are viewing biopsy samples. | | | Progressive pain and shortness of breath can occur. | | | The latent period between asbestos exposure and onset of symptoms can be 20 to 50 years or even longer. |

| | At the upper part of the chest, behind the manubrium, they are separated by an angular interval; the line of reflection being represented by a line drawn from the sternoclavicular articulation to the mid-point of the junction of the manubrium with the body of the sternum. | | | The nerves are derived from the phrenic and sympathetic (Luschka). | | | The rest of the membrane lines the inner surface of the chest wall, covers the diaphragm, and is reflected over the structures occupying the middle of the thorax; this portion is termed the parietal pleura. |
