Pleural Calcified Tumor Misdiagnosed as Peripheral Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Analysis of Imaging Differential Points
Tengfang Zhang, Yilian Xie, Hao Chen, Qingyong Cai, Baolei liang, Zhengguo WuABSTRACT
Pleural calcified solitary fibrous tumor, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral lung nodules. Recognizing key imaging features such as broad‐based pleural attachment and coarse calcification can prevent misdiagnosis and avoid unnecessary lung resection, thereby preserving pulmonary function and improving patient outcomes.
