From: Tumor and tumorlike conditions of the pleura and juxtapleural region: review of imaging findings
Diagnosis: desmoid tumor. Technique: standard chest radiography and chest CT. Description: A 76-year-old man (never smoker) presented with dyspnea and chronic cough. Postero-anterior and lateral chest radiographs (a, b) show a relatively ill-defined area of consolidation (arrow) in the left lung (lingular region). Axial non-contrast-enhanced CT (c, d) shows a relatively well-defined oval-shaped pleural-based mass, isodense to muscle. There are no signs of associated chest wall involvement. Diagnosis of a desmoid tumor was made after surgical resection
