title: [Multiple calcifying fibrous pseudotumor of the pleura].
abstract: A newly recognized distinctive fibrous soft tissue lesion called "calcifying fibrous pseudotumor" (CFPT) was recently described in the soft tissue of the extremities, trunk, scrotum, groin, neck, or axilla. But CFPT orgining from the pleura is rare. A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for an investigation of a chest radiographic abnormality. The complete resection was performed through mini-thoracotomy utilizing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Microscopically, the lesion was mostly composing dense collagenous tissue and scattered calcifications. The postoperative course was uneventful and no recurrence is observed 18 months after operation. We report succsessful surgical treatment for multiple CFPTs.
