How is solitary fibromatosis treated?

Patient's question:

Chest tightness · White phlegm · No fever · Good mental state · Feeling of load in the left lung

Doctor's answer:

Solitary fibromas are relatively uncommon clinically and are considered mesenchymal origin tumors, originating from dendritic interstitial cells. In clinical manifestations, they are often asymptomatic and more common in middle-aged individuals. Generally, when the tumor is small, there are no symptoms, but as the tumor grows, it may cause corresponding compressive symptoms in the affected area, such as coughing, pain, difficulty breathing, and pulmonary osteoarthropathy.
Medical Advice: Treatment with complete surgical resection generally yields good results. The risk of surgery mainly depends on the size and specific location of the lesion. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
