Symptomatic calcifying fibrous tumor of the pleura in a teenager

Abstract

Calcifying fibrous tumor is a rare benign tumor that occurs in multiple locations, and originates from the subcutaneous and deep soft tissues. There are some reported adult cases of multiple or disseminated calcifying fibrous tumors of the pleura. We are reporting the first case of multiple calcifying fibrous tumors of the pleura in a 15 year old girl presenting with cyclical chest pain, with possible hormonal influence.
