Résumé
Metastatic deposits are the most common cause of pleural masses, solitary or multiple. Primary pleural neoplasms are rare entities that are occasionally encountered. Of these, the tumors of neurogenic origin are exceedingly rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. We describe a case of an isolated neurofibroma involving the pleura in a 23-year-old male patient, who underwent CT and MRI scans of the thorax as part of the initial investigations. The final diagnosis was clinched by a CT-guided biopsy of the lesion.
