There are various neoplasms and tumour-like conditions of the pleura. Mesothelioma is perhaps the most widely recognised; however, there are many others that are more common and should be considered. Understanding the similarities and differences can be helpful in managing the patient with a newly found pleural lesion. We will discuss clinical symptoms at presentation and describe the imaging findings associated with these tumours, starting with conventional radiology, and correlating with computed tomography and combined positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). Finally, imaging characteristics that help differentiation between the benign and malignant varieties will be reviewed.
胸膜有各种肿瘤和肿瘤样病变。间皮瘤也许是最广为人知的；然而，还有许多其他更为常见的病变也应该被考虑到。了解这些病变之间的相似点和不同点有助于管理新发现的胸膜病变患者。我们将讨论其临床表现，并描述与这些肿瘤相关的影像学发现，首先是常规放射学，然后与计算机断层扫描（CT）和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）/计算机断层扫描（CT）相结合进行相关分析。最后，我们将回顾有助于区分良性和恶性病变的影像学特征。
