  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

    Figure A shows the location of the lungs and airways in the body. The inset image shows a cross-section of a healthy lung. Figure B shows a view of the lungs with LAM and a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). The inset image shows a cross-section of a lung with LAM. Specialty: Pulmonology

  5. 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 ...

  6. Lung cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cavity

    Pneumonia can lead to the development of a lung abscess, [4] which is a pus-containing necrotic lesion of the lung parenchyma (lung tissue). [5] On CT scan of the chest, a lung abscess appears as an intermediate- or thick-walled cavity with or without an air-fluid level (a flat line separating the air in the cavity from the fluid). [4]

  7. 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 ...

  8. Solitary fibrous tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_fibrous_tumor

    Over the years pleural SFTs acquired a number of synonyms, including localized fibrous tumor, benign mesothelioma, localized fibrous mesothelioma, submesothelial fibroma, and pleural fibroma. The use of names that include mesothelioma for this tumor is discouraged because of potential confusion with diffuse malignant mesothelioma , a much more ...

  9. Asbestos-related diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos-related_diseases

    The thickness ranges from less than 1 mm up to 1 cm or more and may extend for a few millimeters into the lung parenchyma. [5] Fibrous strands ("crow's feet") extending from the thickened pleura into the lung parenchyma can be often detected on CT scan. Diffuse pleural thickening develops 20 to 40 years after first exposure. [11]
