Holly leaf sign - refers to the typical chest radiograph appearance of calcified pleural plaques. The well-defined but irregular thickened edges simulate the appearance of a holly leaf. ‘Geographic density’ is another common term used to describe their appearance. Pleural plaques are the most common form of asbestos related disease.
