Mesothelioma

A circumferential pleural mass with the imaging characteristics described above is likely to be malignant. Metastases, predominantly adenocarcinoma (especially lung, breast, GI, kidney and ovaries) thyroid or melanoma, often result from peripheral pulmonary tumor emboli with resultant pleural involvement. Diffuse mesothelioma can have this radiographic appearance. Lymphoma, most commonly Hodgkin's disease (both the intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary forms), can have direct pleural involvement. Malignant thymoma can present as an anterior mediastinal mass that contiguously spreads to involve pleura. Less likely considerations include focal post inflammatory thickening; however, there is usually associated parenchymal disease. Splenosis related to prior splenic trauma with diaphragmatic rupture could have similar pleural thickening but should not have lymph node enlargement. Finally, a loculated pleural effusion could have such pleural thickening.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare form of cancer that originates in the pleura, the membrane which lines the chest cavity. Most cases of mesothelioma are related to exposure to asbestos, a naturally occurring fibrous mineral used extensively in the past in the construction, automotive and manufacturing industries. Asbestos fibers are easily inhaled, and tend to settle in the lower portions of the lung near the pleura. The fibers can cause inflammation and scarring and lead to lung damage or asbestosis. Occasionally, asbestos fibers cause changes to occur in the pleura, leading to the development of MPM 15 to 45 years after exposure. Because of this long latency period, many of the 2,000-3,000 cases diagnosed annually in the United States are patients who had been exposed to asbestos many years earlier while working at shipbuilding or naval yards, or in mechanical, insulation or manufacturing industries. Men are three to five times more likely to develop mesothelioma than women. There are three cell types of mesothelioma:
