A male patient, 60 years old, was admitted due to an intermittent cough that had been present for 2 weeks. According to the patient, he had suffered from tuberculous pleurisy about in 20 years ago, and at that time an assessment, made after 3 months' regular anti-TB treatment, showed no explicit evidence indicated the tuberculosis remained. The physical examination revealed the following: the right lung activity was reduced, the mobility of the inferior boundary of the lung by percussion was 4-5 cm, and the breathing sounds of the right lung were slightly weakened. Chest CT made after admission revealed a clear arcuate thickened calcification shadow in the right visceral pleura (Figure 1A) and obvious calcification lesions in the thickened pleura from the mediastinal window, with arcuate distribution and with a localized beaded shape (Figure 1B). Laboratory testing revealed a white blood cell count of 5.7x109/L, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 40 mm/h, and a C-reactive protein level of 8.08 mg/L.
