  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. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

    LAM cells appear to arise from an extrapulmonary source and migrate to the lung. [21] Increased LAM cell migration and invasiveness is rescued by TSC2 re-expression. [49] The cellular and molecular mechanisms of neoplastic transformation and lung parenchymal destruction by LAM cells remain unknown.

  4. Pleura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleura

    The pleurae (sg.: pleura) [1] are the two flattened closed sacs filled with pleural fluid, each ensheathing each lung and lining their surrounding tissues, locally appearing as two opposing layers of serous membrane separating the lungs from the mediastinum, the inside surfaces of the surrounding chest walls and the diaphragm. Although wrapped ...

  5. Malignant pleural effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignant_pleural_effusion

    Malignant pleural effusion is a condition in which cancer causes an abnormal amount of fluid to collect between the thin layers of tissue lining the outside of the lung and the wall of the chest cavity. [1] Lung cancer and breast cancer account for about 50-65% of malignant pleural effusions.

  6. Mesothelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelium

    Mesothelioma: (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or ...

  7. Acinar adenocarcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acinar_adenocarcinoma

    Acinar adenocarcinoma of the lung is a highly lethal disease. Overall, the five-year survival rates approximate 16% to 22%. Generally, survival is better in all stages for patients with the acinar (or papillary) pattern than it is in patients with the solid pattern, but considerably worse than those with the bronchioloalveolar pattern.

  8. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_idiopathic...

    In most DIPNECH cases, upon examination of the lung tissue, the overgrowth of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells is seen along the small airways, with extension through the basement membrane of the bronchiolar epithelium leading to formation of carcinoid tumorlets. When the tumorlets become greater than 5mm in size they are considered bronchial ...

  9. Pleuropulmonary blastoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleuropulmonary_blastoma

    In a retrospective review of 204 children with lung tumors, pleuropulmonary blastoma and carcinoid tumor were the most common primary tumors (83% of the 204 children had secondary tumors spread from cancers elsewhere in the body). [1] Pleuropulmonary blastoma is regarded as malignant. The male:female ratio is approximately one.
