Reversible Periosteophyte Friction Fibrosis

This was Case of the Day 234.

64-year-old man had cough with expectoration and came for a CT chest.

There was 3-level periosteophyte friction fibrosis.

Periosteophyte friction fibrosis is considered an interstitial (ILA) mimic.

The video goes through the case and then the existing, extremely sparse literature on this subject and tries to answer these questions

1. Why does periosteophyte friction fibrosis occur?
2. Can it reverse?
