The pleura may be affected by a variety of diseases. Radiological techniques are helpful in management but are rarely diagnostic. Diagnosis is usually made following careful assessment of aspirated fluid and pleural biopsy specimens. The management of pleural malignancy remains unsatisfactory.
胸膜可能受到多种疾病的影响。放射学技术在治疗中有所帮助，但很少能用于诊断。诊断通常在对抽取的液体和胸膜活检标本进行仔细评估后做出。胸膜恶性肿瘤的治疗仍不尽人意。
