Calcifying 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.
胸膜钙化性纤维瘤(CFTP)在胸部CT扫描中通常表现为钙化的、无强化的病变。然而,强化的胸膜病变可能会模仿间皮瘤等恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例罕见病例,尽管影像学检查未见明显钙化,但经病理检查证实为CFTP的强化性胸膜增厚。
