Our goal was to describe the radiologic features of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CEPT) of pleura.
Chest radiographs and CT images of three patients, aged 23-34 years, with pathologically proven CFPT of pleura were reviewed with regard to lesion size, location, and appearance.
Chest radiographs showed well marginated, noncalcified pleural masses in all cases. Two patients had solitary masses and one had multifocal ipsilateral masses. All masses were located in the inferior aspect of the chest and measured 3-12 cm. All masses were calcified on CT. The calcifications were thick and band-like in two cases and punctate in one. There was no chest wall invasion, pleural effusion, or parenchymal disease.
CFPTs of pleura are rare lesions that manifest as calcified pleural masses in young adults.
我们的目标是描述胸膜钙化性纤维性假瘤(CFPT)的放射学特征。
回顾了3例年龄在23 - 34岁、经病理证实为胸膜CFPT患者的胸部X线片和CT图像,观察病变大小、位置及表现。
胸部X线片显示所有病例均为边界清晰的非钙化胸膜肿块。2例为孤立性肿块,1例为同侧多灶性肿块。所有肿块均位于胸部下方,大小为3 - 12厘米。所有肿块在CT上均有钙化。2例钙化呈厚的带状,1例呈点状。无胸壁侵犯、胸腔积液或实质病变。
胸膜CFPT是罕见病变,在年轻人中表现为钙化性胸膜肿块。
