Desmoid fibromatosis of pleura

Radiologic Findings

Fig 1-2. Chest PA and lateral view show a large mass in right lower lung zone.
Fig 3-5. CT scans reveals a large mass in the right lower hemithorax, with attachment to the right lower posterior chest wall. Small amount of right pleural effusion without definite enhancement is seen in right hemithorax with passive atelectasis of right lower lobe.
Fig 6. This lesion is measured about 14.2 X 10.3 cm in diameter on coronal image.
