Abstract:
The authors report a case of a pleural fibroma occurring in a 72 year old woman. The tumour presented with both an osteoarthropathy and hypoglycaemia. An X-ray revealed an abundant associated pleural effusion. Immune studies were positive for the presence of vimentin and negative for keratin, as occurred in this case, were in favour of a pure fibroblastic origin for these tumours.
