Abstract
Ten patients are described in whom a localized reaction in the visceral pleura developed comparatively rapidly, involving parts of the underlying lung parenchyma, forming an atelectatic pseudotumor. The lesions were mistaken for pulmonary malignancy, leading to thoracotomy in 5 patients. These lesions may occur many years after exposure to asbestos and are apparently sequelae of benign pleurisy. Computer tomography is of great value in these cases and may obviate thoracotomy.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
