Abstract:
A newly recognized, distinctive fibrous soft tissues lesion called 'calcifying fibrous pseudotumor' is a rare benign condition characterized by the presence of abundant hyalinized collagen with psammomatous or dystrophic calcifications and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. It wasin soft tissues of the extremities, trunk, groin, scrotum, neck and also rarely in the mediastinum, pleura, and visceral mediastinum. We report a case of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor in the right adrenal gland which was incidentally found in a 43-year-old women.
