Abstract

Calcifying fibrous pseudotumors (CFP) are rare soft tissue tumors that have unique histopathologic features characterized by a dense hyalinized collagenous tissue interspersed with benign spindle cells, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, and psammomatous or dystrophic calcifications. We report here on a case of calcifying fibrous pseudotumors in the pleura and provide a literature review.
