Asbestos-related pleural plaques
(A) Chest frontal upright chest radiograph shows extensive calcification of multiple parietal and diaphragmatic pleural plaques forming a geographic and holly leaf pattern.
(B) Axial computed tomography (CT) in a patient with a remote history of left pneumonectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma. Asbestos-related pleural plaques are seen in the right pleural space (arrows) with one pleural plaque located in the right major fissure (arrowhead), mimicking an intrapulmonary nodule.
