Genomic Characterization of Pleural Solitary Fibrous Tumours

Pleural solitary fibrous tumours (pSFTs) are uncommon soft tissue tumours of the pleura. that may recur and contribute to the patients’ demise. We analyzed a group of benign and malignant pSFTs for copy number alterations and for common mutations in oncogenes and tumour-suppressor genes. Malignant SFTs demonstrated more copy number alterations, especially 8q (c-myc) gain, 10q (include PTEN) loss, and 13q (Rb1) loss. Mutations were rare in this limited study.
