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 Wu

ABSTRACT

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.
