  • Title: [Pleural fibroma: apropos of a case].
    Author: M'Raihi ML, Sansonetti M, Garbe L, Fuentes P, Seisdedos MC, Vervloet D.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1990; 7(1):79-82. PubMed ID: 2251441.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of a pleural fibroma occurring in a 72 year old woman. The tumour presented with both an osteoarthropathy and hypoglycaemia. An X-ray revealed an abundant associated pleural effusion. Immune studies were positive for the presence of vimentin and negative for keratin, as occurred in this case, were in favour of a pure fibroblastic origin for these tumours.
