The pleural space is defined by the visceral pleura, which covers the lung, and the parietal pleura, which covers the chest wall, diaphragm, and mediastinum. It is estimated that pleural effusion ...

Your lungs are protected by two membranes, called the pleurae. The visceral pleura covers the lungs, and the parietal pleura lines the inside of your rib cage. A small amount of space between the ...

A pulmonary bleb is a small collection of air between the lung and the outer surface of the lung (visceral pleura) usually found in the upper lobe of the lung. When a bleb ruptures the air escapes ...

The pleura now can be moved from the mediastinum. Once the upper portion of the lung is completely detached from the chest wall, the vessels entering the lung are exposed. On the left side, the ...

VPI is the extension of a tumor beyond the elastic layer of the visceral pleura. A study published in the August 2009 edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology found that non-small cell lung ...

In patients with small, peripheral non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), visceral pleural invasion leads to worse disease-free and recurrence-free survival as well as higher rates of recurrence ...
