Imaging Features of Various Benign and Malignant Tumors and Tumorlike Conditions of the Pleura: A Pictorial Review
Pleural masses may be caused by various conditions, including benign and malignant neoplasms and non-neoplastic tumorlike conditions. Primary pleural neoplasms include solitary fibrous tumor, malignant mesothelioma, and primary pleural non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Metastatic disease is the most common...

| description | Pleural masses may be caused by various conditions, including benign and malignant neoplasms
and non-neoplastic tumorlike conditions. Primary pleural neoplasms include solitary
fibrous tumor, malignant mesothelioma, and primary pleural non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Metastatic
disease is the most common neoplasm of the pleura and may uncommonly occur in patients
with hematologic malignancy, including lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma.
Pleural effusion is usually associated with pleural malignancy. Rarely, pleural malignancy may
arise from chronic empyema, and the most common cell type is non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
(pyothorax-associated lymphoma). Non-neoplastic pleural masses may be observed in several
benign conditions, including tuberculosis, pleural plaques caused by asbestos exposure, and
pleural loose body. Herein, we present a review of benign and malignant pleural neoplasms
and tumorlike conditions with illustrations of their computed tomographic images. |
