In patients over 50 years of age, neoplasms of the pleura are probably the second most common cause of a pleural effusion after congestive heart failure. Lung cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, ovarian carcinoma, and stomach cancer are the leading causes of malignant pleural disease, and adenocarcinoma is the most common cell type. This review discusses in detail the etiology and incidence, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of neoplasms that involve the pleura with special reference to malignant and paramalignant pleural effusions.
在50岁以上的患者中，胸膜肿瘤可能是继充血性心力衰竭之后导致胸腔积液的第二大常见病因。肺癌、乳腺癌、淋巴瘤、卵巢癌和胃癌是恶性胸膜疾病的主要病因，腺癌是最常见的细胞类型。本综述详细讨论了累及胸膜的肿瘤的病因和发病率、发病机制、临床表现、诊断、预后及治疗，特别提及了恶性和准恶性胸腔积液。
