摘要
This study describes the diffuse neoplastic conditions that may affect pleural membranes. These include mesothelioma, the most important and common malignancy of pleural origin, and metastatic involvement by carcinomas, lymphomas and thymomas. On the basis of diagnostic imaging, we identify the distinctive features of pleural involvement by each of these conditions and provide elements enabling accurate differential diagnosis. Finally, we discuss the best diagnostic approach in the case of suspected primary or secondary neoplastic involvement of pleural membranes.
