AbstractCalcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFPT) is a rare pseudotumoral lesion initially described in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissues. More recently, 3 cases were reported in the pleura. We report an unusual presentation associating miliary pleural lesions with a single soft tissue lesion in a 29-year old, asymptomatic female patient. The multitude of pleural lesions prevented complete excision. Although the present case confirms an indolent process, the pathogenesis and long-term prognosis remain undetermined.
