Abstract
- Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFP) is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor that may uncommonly arise in the pleura. These tumors can show multifocal dissemination across the pleural surface, but the mechanism underlying this dissemination is unclear. Review of previously reported cases of pleural CFP demonstrates a strong predilection for basal and diaphragmatic pleural surfaces, and a significantly higher rate of multifocality compared with other locations. We present a 59-year-old male with multiple CFP of the pleura. Reactive-appearing adhesions spanning the pleural surfaces were present, and by electron microscopy, were involved by tumor. We suggest this is the likely mode of dissemination across the pleural surfaces.
