  • Title: Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFPT): a patient presenting with multiple pleural lesions.
    Author: Hainaut P, Lesage V, Weynand B, Coche E, Noirhomme P.
    Journal: Acta Clin Belg; 1999 Jun; 54(3):162-4. PubMed ID: 10443045.
    Abstract:
    Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFPT) is a rare pseudotumoral lesion initially described in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissues. More recently, 3 cases were reported in the pleura. We report an unusual presentation associating miliary pleural lesions with a single soft tissue lesion in a 29-year old, asymptomatic female patient. The multitude of pleural lesions prevented complete excision. Although the present case confirms an indolent process, the pathogenesis and long-term prognosis remain undetermined.
