Abstract
- A computed tomography scanner first, then a magnetic resonance imaging were performed for chest pain in a 24-year-old woman allowed to find out a 5-cm long and 2-cm large right pleural tumour close to the rachis (T9 and T10) and spindle-shaped. This patient was a smoker and reported a fall down the stairs a few weeks ago. A scan-guided biopsy was decided and microscopic examination revealed a fibrous tissue in which were entrapped regular and non-suspicious alveolar glands. After elimination of differential diagnosis, the most probable hypothesis was that this lesion was due to the traumatism reported by the patient.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS.
