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 of the chest wall and surrounding structures. A spectrum of tumours can affect the pleura of which metastatic adenocarcinoma is the commonest cause of malignant pleural disease, while malignant mesothelioma is the most common primary pleural tumour. Certain CT features help differentiate benign from malignant processes. This pictorial review highlights the salient CT appearances of a range of tumours that may affect the pleura.
计算机断层扫描（CT）是用于描述胸膜肿块的位置、成分和范围的首选成像技术。CT还提供有关胸壁和周围结构侵犯的重要信息。一系列肿瘤可累及胸膜，其中转移性腺癌是恶性胸膜疾病最常见的原因，而恶性间皮瘤是最常见的原发性胸膜肿瘤。某些CT特征有助于区分良性和恶性病变。本图像综述重点介绍了一系列可能累及胸膜的肿瘤的显著CT表现。
