Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Accuracy of CT Against Immunohistochemical Test Among the Mexican Population

Differentiating malignant pleural mesothelioma and metastatic pleural disease based on a machine learning model with primary CT signs: A multicentre study

“…They were commonly drained parietal pleura and primarily involved in MPM. The prevalence of these LNs was similar to several studies [ 19 , 20 ]. It is reported that the extrapleural LN especially with involvement of mediastinal pleura and decrease of thoracic volume had an important diagnostic value in early diagnosis of MPM [ 21 ].…”

“…Hilar LN enlargement was more frequently observed in MPD patients as well as the previous study, which may have been related to the larger proportion of MPD patients with lung cancer [ 19 ]. The involvement of hilar LN always occurred secondary to parenchymal infiltration and drained lungs and visceral pleura which was not due to direct spread from pleura [ 20 ]. However, there were no significant differences in mediastinal, cardiophrenic, internal mammary, supraclavicular and abdominal LN between two groups.…”

CT features of primary pleural gritty meningioma: A case report and review of the literature

“…In contrast, gritty meningiomas are typically benign tumors classified as WHO grade I, and we did not find malignant signs from CT images. Second, typical signs of MPM are associated with pleural effusion in addition to extensive irregular pleural thickening, 10,11 which is not consistent with this disease. The authors analyzed that the reason for the absence of pleural effusion may be that the tumor did not disrupt the normal filtration and recharging homeostasis of the pleura.…”
