Abstract

Calcifying fibrous tumor of the pleura (CFTP) is a rare benign tumor of the thoracic cavity. Due to the low incidence of CFPT, it is prone to be misdiagnosed because intraoperative analysis of frozen section is a challenge for pathologists. At present, it is difficult to distinguish this tumor from other benign thoracic tumors based on radiographic features. Therefore, surgical resection is the best method for definite diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: benign tumor; calcifying fibrous tumor; pleura.
