title: [Pleural fibroma. Development of diagnostic methods and current anatomo-pathologic aspects. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Pleural fibroma is a rare benign primary pleural tumour which has a favourable prognosis after surgical resection. Preoperatively, the diagnosis of the tumour of pleural origin can be made by means of modern imaging techniques, particularly computed tomography. However, there are no formal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging criteria allowing a precise characterisation of the tissues. The definitive diagnosis of pleural fibroma can only be based on histological examination of the entire surgical specimen.
