Abstract:
Exudative pleural carcinosis may remain the only localisation of generalized disease for months. Exudation and total distension of the lung must be prevented. Since sclerosis is not effective in cases of tapered lung, parietal pleurectomy and decortication are indicated. This ensures patient survival and fitness for work for several years.
