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.
