  2. Black pleura sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pleura_sign

    This line stands out against the adjacent, uniformly dense lung fields caused by extensive calcifications. [2] Computed Tomography (CT): CT scans provide a more detailed view, revealing a clear demarcation between the calcified lung parenchyma and the spared subpleural area. The black pleura sign is evident as a peripheral lucent rim beneath ...

  3. Thoracic endometriosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_endometriosis

    The endometrial tissue settles in the lung parenchyma or pleura. [8] A review of autopsy data showed that patients with endometriosis have bilateral pulmonary lesions, which supports the vascular embolisation theory. The pleural and/or diaphragmatic lesions were always found on the left side, which supports the theory of coelomic metaplasia.

  4. Hamartoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamartoma

    Parenchymal hamartoma of the lung. The surrounding lung falls away from the well-circumscribed mass, a typical feature of these lesions. The hamartoma shows a variegated yellow and white appearance, which corresponds respectively to fat and cartilage. About 5–8% of all solitary lung nodules and about 75% of all benign lung tumors, are ...

  5. Pulmonary alveolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_alveolus

    Mucicarmine stain. Histopathology of lung shows widened alveolar septum containing a few inflammatory cells and numerous yeasts of Cryptococcus neoformans. The inner layer of the yeast capsule stain red. Almost any type of lung tumor or lung cancer can compress the alveoli and reduce gas exchange capacity. In some cases the tumor will fill the ...

  6. Chest radiograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_radiograph

    Fluid in space between the lung and the chest wall is termed a pleural effusion. There needs to be at least 75 mL of pleural fluid in order to blunt the costophrenic angle on the lateral chest radiograph and 200 mL of pleural fluid in order to blunt the costophrenic angle on the posteroanterior chest radiograph. On a lateral decubitus, amounts ...

  7. Solitary fibrous tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_fibrous_tumor

    Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), also known as fibrous tumor of the pleura, is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating in the pleura [1] or at virtually any site in the soft tissue including the seminal vesicle. [2] Approximately 78% to 88% of SFT's are benign and 12% to 22% are malignant. [3]

  8. Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_neuroendocrine_tumor

    Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors are neuroendocrine tumors localized to the lung: bronchus or pulmonary parenchyma.. Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors include a spectrum of tumors from the low-grade typical pulmonary carcinoid tumor and intermediate-grade atypical pulmonary carcinoid tumor to the high-grade pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) and pulmonary small cell carcinoma ...

  9. Pancoast tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancoast_tumor

    A Pancoast tumor is a tumor of the apex of the lung. It is a type of lung cancer defined primarily by its location situated at the top end of either the right or left lung. It typically spreads to nearby tissues such as the ribs and vertebrae. Most Pancoast tumors are non-small-cell lung cancers.
