Abstract
in English, Chinese

Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura (SFTP) is uncommon, accounts for less than 5% of all pleural tumors. Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is also not common, 80% of which often occurs in the main pulmonary trunk and peripheral PAA is rare. SFTP combined with PAA in one patient has not been reported. This paper reports a case of SFTP combined with peripheral PAA, and SFTP maybe accelerate PAA formation.

胸膜孤立性纤维瘤，临床不多见，约占胸膜肿瘤的5%。肺动脉瘤临床亦不常见，80%位于主肺动脉，周围型较少。胸膜孤立性纤维瘤合并肺动脉瘤临床上尚未见报道。本文报道1例胸腔内巨大孤立性纤维瘤合并周围性肺动脉瘤的患者，其胸腔内的孤立性纤维瘤的生长可能加速了肺动脉瘤的形成和进展。.

患者影像图片。A和B分别是2013年患者的3D血管成像和增强CT扫描；C和D是2014年的3D血管成像和增强CT扫描。从2014年的C和D图片中，我们可以发现肺动脉瘤已形成，肿块变大，占据左侧胸腔。 Image pictures of patients. A is 3D imaging of vessels and B is enhanced CT scan of chest in 2013; C and D is in 2014. From C and D, we can find PAA has formatted and thoracic mass (SFTP) is larger and full of the left thorax in 2014. PAA: pulmonary artery aneurysm; CT: computed tomography.
