title: Spontaneous regression of a pleural thickening with the histological appearance of an inflammatory pseudotumour.
abstract: The inflammatory nature of a tumour-like lesion not formerly observed in the parietal pleura was confirmed histologically using immunohistochemical analysis and clinically by spontaneous regression. A study of the literature revealed that the histological picture of the lesion was consistent with that of the rarely described inflammatory pseudotumour.
