Abstract
Abstract: We report the case of a 48 year old man brought-in-dead to the trauma unit following an alleged accidental fall from a multi-storied building. Autopsy findings were consistent with traumatic injuries to the head, chest and spine. Incidentally, a bit of the diaphragm with a pearly white lobulated mass over the pleural surface was observed. Histopathological examination detected a calcifying fibrous pseudotumour (CFPT), confirmed by positive immunostaining for cluster of differentiation protein-34 (CD34) and vimentin (focally). CFPTs are slow-growing pseudotumours that are clinically benign with extremely low rate of recurrence and this might just be the first reported case of CFPT on the diaphragm. This shall further aid clinicians to diagnose these rare yet significant soft tissue tumors in uncommon sites.
期刊介绍：
The journal will cover studies related to pathology including morbid anatomy, surgical pathology, clinical pathology, diagnostic cytopathology including gynecologic cytology and aspiration cytology, hematology including immuno-hematology and medical microbiology. The journal gives preference to clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies. The Journal would publish peer-reviewed original research papers, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, letters to the editor and brief communications. Review articles on current topics usually are invited by the editor.
