Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) commonly arise from the pleura and are mostly benign. However, they may develop anywhere in the body, and 10%-30% are malignant. Classically, SFTs appear as solitary enhancing masses, and bilateral presentation is extremely rare. In this case, an 88-year-old male presented with back pain and a history of chronic tuberculous empyema. Imaging studies revealed bilateral paravertebral masses with aggressive radiologic features, which were speculatively presumed as thoracic malignancies in association with chronic empyema. Herein, we report a unique case of bilateral paravertebral malignant SFTs that were accurately diagnosed with a CT-guided coaxial needle biopsy.
