Abstract
We describe a case of resection of a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura using video-assisted thoracic surgery and removal of the giant tumour using a subxiphoid incision without the need for minithoracotomy. Use of the subxiphoid approach as a retrieval port is simple and feasible.Entities:
