Abstract

Neoplasms of the pleura are a diverse group of benign and malignant pathologic entities that include both primary and secondary malignancies. Most neoplasms of the pleura are metastases, typically from lung cancer, although extrathoracic neoplasms such as breast and ovarian cancer have a predilection for spread to the pleura. This chapter discusses the most common primary malignant neoplasm to arise from the pleura, diffuse malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), with a comprehensive review of the imaging, staging evaluation, and treatment considerations for MPM.
