Efusi pleura adalah akumulasi yang berlebihan di dalam rongga dapat disebabkan oleh perubahan tekanan hidrostatik dan onkotik kapiler paru-paru, peningkatan permeabilitas membran pleura, obstruksi limfatik. Karakteristik klinis dari pasien sangat penting diketahui untuk membantu menegakkan etiologi efusi pleura. 1 Jenis penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional mengguna...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome of lung cancer with invasion beyond interlobar pleura and to clarify whether it should be treated in the same way as invasion to the parietal pleura or to other visceral pleura. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Tokyo Medical College Hospital. PATIENTS Eighteen resected non-small cell lung cancers with invasion beyond interlobar pleura were studi...

Metastatic tumours of pleura are the most common malignant tumours causing malignant pleural effusion. Lungs are the most common primary sites. Primary pleural tumours are rarely seen and diffuse malignant mesothelioma is the most common malignant tumour of pleura. Primary malignant neuroendocrine tumour of pleura is not reported in the literature. Here, we report a rare case of primary maligna...

There are few reports of primary malignant tumours of the pleura other than mesothelioma. Reports of squamous-cell carcinoma of the pleura are especially rare. Epidermoid carcinoma of the pleura may occur in connection with persistent empyema drained by a pleurocutaneous fistula or long-standing extrapleural pneumothorax without fistula.

In contrast to the now frequently appearing and diagnosed pulmonary and bronchial carcinomata, primary tumors of the pleura are rare. Clinical differentiation of malignant tumors of the pleura from malignant tumors of the lung is essential. The most common malignant tumors of the pleura are the endotheliomata, the course of which resembles the course of an exudative tuberculous pleurisy. Benign...
