Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs (known as the mesothelium ). [ 10] The area most commonly affected is the lining of the lungs and chest wall. [ 1][ 3] Less commonly the lining of the abdomen and rarely the sac surrounding the heart, [ 11] or the sac surrounding ...
Small-cell carcinoma is a type of highly malignant cancer that most commonly arises within the lung, [ 1] although it can occasionally arise in other body sites, such as the cervix, [ 2] prostate, [ 3] and gastrointestinal tract. Compared to non-small cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma is more aggressive, with a shorter doubling time, higher ...

Oncology . Adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS) of the lung—previously included in the category of "bronchioloalveolar carcinoma" (BAC)—is a subtype of lung adenocarcinoma. It tends to arise in the distalbronchiolesor alveoliand is defined by a non-invasive growth pattern. This small solitary tumor exhibits pure alveolar distribution (lepidic growth ...
Tumor-like disorders of the lung pleura are a group of conditions that on initial radiological studies might be confused with malignant lesions. Radiologists must be aware of these conditions in order to avoid misdiagnosing patients. Examples of such lesions are: pleural plaques, thoracic splenosis, catamenial pneumothorax, pleural pseudotumor ...
20 per 100,000 per year [ 3 ][ 5 ] A pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall. [ 3 ] Symptoms typically include sudden onset of sharp, one-sided chest pain and shortness of breath. [ 2 ] In a minority of cases, a one-way valve is formed by an area of damaged tissue, and the amount of ...
For example, mass effects from lung cancer can block the bronchus resulting in cough or pneumonia; esophageal cancer can cause narrowing of the esophagus, making it difficult or painful to swallow; and colorectal cancer may lead to narrowing or blockages in the bowel, affecting bowel habits. Masses in breasts or testicles may produce observable ...
Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung primarily affecting the small air sacs known as alveoli. [ 3 ][ 14 ] Symptoms typically include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. [ 15 ] The severity of the condition is variable. [ 15 ]
