Fibrosing pleuritis, also fibrous pleurisy and fibrous pleuritis, is an uncommon benign condition that mimics malignant mesothelioma.
It may be referred to as cryptogenic bilateral fibrosing pleuritis, if it is bilateral.
General
- Benign.
- No asbestos exposure.[1]
Clinical:[1]
- Pleural thickening on imaging.
- Pleural effusion.
Gross
- Pleural thickening associated with a pleural effusion.
Microscopic
Features:[citation needed]
DDx:[3]
- Mesothelioma, desmoplastic.
IHC
- p53 -ve/+ve.
- More common in mesothelioma.[2]
Sign out
Pleura, Left Lung, Biopsy: - Fibrous pleuritis (fibrous tissue with mild chronic inflammation and calcifications). - NEGATIVE for malignancy.
