    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Thoracic Medicine

    Background:

    • Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare and challenging diagnosis.
    • Accurate staging is crucial for treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and tabulate computed tomography (CT) findings in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
    • To evaluate the reliability of CT in assessing disease extent.
    • To identify CT features suggestive of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of CT findings in 50 patients with proven malignant pleural mesothelioma.
    • Comparison of CT results with thoracotomy and thoracoscopy in 31 cases.

    Main Results:

    • CT demonstrated reliability in evaluating the exact extent of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
