| benign mesothelioma | A benign tumour of fibrous tissue which usually arises in the pleural space on other sites. Synonym: benign mesothelioma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| benign mesothelioma of genital tract | A small, circumscribed, benign tumour of the genital tract, composed of small glandlike spaces lined by flattened or cuboidal mesothelium-like cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malignant mesothelioma | <oncology, tumour> A mesothelioma is a tumour of the lining of the lung and chest cavity, known as the pleura. Benign mesotheliomas do occur but are much more rare than the malignant type. Malignant mesothelioma affects men more commonly and about 80% of cases have a history for prior exposure to asbestos. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, cough and weight loss. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mesothelioma | <oncology, tumour> Malignant tumour of the mesothelium, usually of lung, caused by exposure to asbestos fibres, particularly those of crocidolite, the fibres of which are thin and straight and penetrate to the deep layers of the lung. Because of their shape, the fibres puncture the macrophage phagosome and are released, leading to a chronic inflammatory state that is thought to contribute to development of the tumour. (06 Mar 1998) |
| mesothelioma, cystic | A peritoneal mesothelioma affecting mainly young females and producing cysts of variable size and number lined by a single layer of benign mesothelial cells. The disease follows a benign course and is compatible with a normal life expectancy, requiring occasionally partial excision or decompression for relief of pain or other symptoms. Malignant potential is exceptional. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adipose folds of the pleura | Lobules of fat enveloped in the pleura, chiefly in the neighborhood of the costomediastinal sinus. Synonym: adipose folds of the pleura. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal pleura | That which lines the different parts of the wall of the pleural cavity; called costal, diaphragmatic, and mediastinal, according to the parts invested. Synonym: pleura parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral pleura | The layer investing the lungs and dipping into the fissures between the several lobes. Synonym: pleura pulmonalis, pleura visceralis, pulmonary pleura. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mediastinal pleura | The continuation of the costal pleura passing from the sternum to the vertebral column which covers the side of the mediastinum. Synonym: pleura mediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervical pleura | The dome-shaped roof of the pleural cavity extending up through the superior aperture of the thorax. Synonym: cupula pleurae, cervical pleura. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phrenic pleura | The layer of parietal pleura covering the upper surface of the diaphragm, except along its costal attachments and where it is covered with the pericardium. Synonym: pleura diaphragmatica, phrenic pleura, pleura phrenica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pleura | <anatomy> The serous membranes covering the lungs (visceral pleura) and lining the inner aspect of the pleural cavity (parietal pleura). (29 Oct 1998) |
| pleura costalis | The layer of parietal pleura lining the chest walls. Synonym: pleura costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pleura diaphragmatica | The layer of parietal pleura covering the upper surface of the diaphragm, except along its costal attachments and where it is covered with the pericardium. Synonym: pleura diaphragmatica, phrenic pleura, pleura phrenica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pleura mediastinalis | The continuation of the costal pleura passing from the sternum to the vertebral column which covers the side of the mediastinum. Synonym: pleura mediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
