Primary mesenchymal tumours of the pleura are uncommon and can be diagnostically challenging due to their overlapping histopathologic and immunophenotypic features. Herein we discuss selected mesenchymal tumours of the pleura, including solitary fibrous tumour, calcifying fibrous tumour, desmoid fibromatosis, synovial sarcoma, schwannoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, and desmoplastic small round cell tumour. We review their clinicopathologic characteristics, along with an update on the relevant immunohistochemical and molecular features. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
