Solitary fibrous tumors were previously referred to as localized mesotheliomas or pleural fibromas but were later defined as a submesothelial mesenchymal rather than a mesothelial neoplasm. These tumors are rare neoplasms that most frequently occur in the pleura but can be encountered in many other parts of the body. We describe a case of a 54-year-old man with dyspnea on exertion who underwent surgical resection of a solitary fibrous tumor from the right anterior mediastinum. Computed tomography and angiography imaging studies were used in presurgical survey and tumor embolization. We provided a valuable experirence for the image features of solitary fibous tumor were rarely discussed.
