en plaque

adjective Referring to a flattened lesion that is often whitish and has a fibrous consistency, which is located on an organ’s surface; as in “en plaque meningioma”, “en plaque mesothelioma”, etc. Because the term describes gross morphology, it may not correlate with histologic findings; when used alone it is nonspecific and of little diagnostic utility.
