Pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF) is a rare neoplasm that may be related to solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). A subset of PAFs harbor the NAB2-STAT6 fusion that is typical of SFT, but a significant proportion do not. Their distinction is clinically important as SFTs can potentially have an aggressive clinical course, while there has been no report of a PAF behaving in a malignant fashion. We report a case of a 60-year-old male who developed a SFT and PAF in the same lung. The SFT harbored a NAB2-STAT6 fusion, while the PAF did not have any identifiable fusion. This case represents the first instance of a single patient with both of these tumors occurring simultaneously in the same lung.
