摘要: Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging technique of choice for characterizing pleural masses with respect to their location, composition, and extent. CT also provides important information regarding invasion chest wall surrounding structures. A spectrum tumours can affect pleura which metastatic adenocarcinoma commonest cause malignant disease, while mesothelioma most common primary tumour. Certain features help differentiate benign from processes. This pictorial review highlights salient appearances a range that may pleura.
