Abstract

Pleural abnormalities are often a manifestation of intrathoracic and systemic diseases caused by an extensive list of neoplastic and nonneoplastic conditions. Both neoplastic and nonneoplastic pleural diseases can present with similar clinical features. Nonneoplastic disorders of the pleura may result from a variety of infectious as well as drug- and trauma-related causes. Primary pleural disease owing to a myriad of inflammatory and neoplastic pleural disorders is less common, but nonetheless relevant due to its potential to cause devastating respiratory compromise. Moreover, many of the benign tumors of the pleura closely mimic malignant disease in their radiographic and histologic appearance. In this chapter, we will discuss the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic correlates of the spectrum of primary and secondary diseases of the pleura. The intent of this multidisciplinary approach is to provide a detailed overview and update of diseases of the pleura that can be directly applied to clinical practice and to stimulate basic research investigations in areas where there are unanswered questions.
