Asbestosis, pleural plaques and diffuse pleural thickening: three distinct benign responses to asbestos exposure.
The aim of this study was to investigate by computed tomography (CT) whether asbestosis, diffuse pleural thickening and/or pleural plaques are statistically associated. We also tried to find criteria to differentiate between diffuse and circumscribed pleural thickening. From 231 exposed workers, only those subjects whose radiograph showed neither bilateral calcified pleural plaques nor small pu...
متن کاملThe Role of Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging in Detecting Malignant and Benign Pleural Thickening in Asbestos-Related Pleural Diseases
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in differentiating between diffuse malignant and benign pleural thickening in asbestos-related pleural diseases. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two patients were included in the study. Thirty-two had a benign form and 30 had malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The patient files and ...
متن کاملAsbestos-related diffuse pleural thickening.
BACKGROUND The clinical features of asbestos-related diffuse pleural thickening (DPT) remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To clarify the association between radiological findings of DPT and respiratory function. METHODS Medical data from patients with asbestos-related DPT were collected, including their history of occupational or neighborhood asbestos exposure, initial symptoms, modified Medical Res...
متن کامل[Prognostic features of residual pleural thickening in metapneumonic pleural effusion].
Residual pleural thickening (RPT) develops in some patients after metapneumonic pleural effusion (MPE). Our aim was to identify factors that predict the development of RPT by retrospectively analyzing patients with MPE secondary to bacterial pneumonia in our practice from 1992 through April 1997. Patients were assigned to groups based on the presence or not of RPT (> 10 mm) three months or more...
متن کاملPleural thickening and gas transfer in asbestosis.
Anomalies in the ratio of transfer factor to effective alveolar volume as an indicator of pulmonary gas exchange in cases of asbestosis may be related to diffuse pleural thickening. To examine the effect of pleural disease on gas transfer the plain chest radiographs of patients with asbestosis were assessed by two observers for profusion of parenchymal opacities and extent of pleural disease an...
