CRUZ-CASTELLANOS, Patricia et al. Clinical and therapeutic management of a pleural fibrous tumor with ALK translocation. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, suppl.1, pp.102-105.  Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001346.

We present a clinical case of a solitary fibrous pleural tumor (TFSP) with abnormal behavior due to its high aggressiveness and poor short-term prognosis, where an ALK translocation was identified. TFSP is an infrequent tumor, with an estimated incidence of around 8 per 100,000 inhabitants and with few cases reported in the literature. The most common is that it is a neoplasm of benign behavior, with debut as a localized mass and whose The treatment of choice is surgical resection. All the data in the literature contrast with our experience, which we report below.
