Calcifying fibrous tumour of the pleura without gross calcification

Abstract

Key messageCalcifying fibrous tumours of the pleura (CFTP) typically appear as calcified, non‐enhancing lesions on chest CT scans. However, enhancing pleural lesions can mimic malignancy like mesothelioma. We report a rare case that enhancing pleural thickening, confirmed as CFTP through pathological examination, despite the absence of visible calcification on radiological imaging.
