Primary pleural tumors other than mesothelioma account for fewer than 1% of all lung cancers, and consequently they pose diagnostic and management challenges. Their treatment must be targeted toward the specific tumor type and is often quite different from the treatment for mesothelioma or metastases. Despite the best efforts at diagnosing and treating

Pleural effusion in Wilms' tumor
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1977The association of pleural effusion and Wilms' tumor is uncommon. We report three patients who developed pleural effusion as a result of different mechanisms, all of which were related to Wilms' tumor or to its treatment.

Ultrastructural diagnosis of pleural tumors
Pathology - Research and Practice, 1982The significant association of two kind of mesothelial cells, differentiated and fibroblastoid, caracterises the ultrastructure of malignant pleural mesotheliomas. The differentiated mesothelial cancer cells (MCC's), whether they are observed in fluids or in biopsies, are not caracteristic enough to assert the diagnosis of mesothelioma. They can easily

Tumor markers in pleural effusion diagnosis
Cancer, 1988In order to discriminate between malignant and benign effusions, the values of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), ferritin, beta2-microglobulin (BMG), acid-soluble glycoprotein (ASP), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP) were measured in the pleural fluid of 54 patients with lung cancer ...

Imaging of pleural and chest wall tumors
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2004MPM is a difficult disease to characterize radiographically because of its diffuse nature and propensity to infiltrate between tissue planes. Although significant information is obtained by CT, MRI, and PET, correlation with intraoperative findings is inconsistent.

Pleural Cysts Simulating Mediastinal Tumors
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963PLEURAL CYSTS are rare developmental anomalies which involve the parietal pleura, most commonly on the diaphragmatic surface. These cysts contain serous fluid of low specific gravity and are composed of a thin fibrous wall with an inner mesothelial layer.

FDG PET/CT in the Management of Primary Pleural Tumors and Pleural Metastases
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2013OBJECTIVE. FDG PET/CT is emerging as an important modality in the evaluation of pleural tumors. PET/CT has an established role in the diagnosis and staging and shows promise in therapy planning, therapy response assessment, and providing prognostic information in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Pleural Effusion Secondary to Tumor Regression
Oncology, 19792 patients with metastatic cancer (Ewing's sarcoma and breast cancer) developed pleural effusions while undergoing systemic therapy for pulmonary metastases. Thoracenteses failed to reveal malignant cells and in both instances the characteristics of the fluids were those of transudates.
