  • Title: [Pleural colonization of thymoma].
    Author: Patanè D, Danza FM, Pincelli G, Di Gregorio F, Vagnoni MG, Falappa P.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1986; 72(7-8):548-55. PubMed ID: 3737988.
    Abstract:
    Six observations of peculiar pleural implants completely separated from invasive thymomas (examined by conventional chest x-ray and CT) were reviewed. CT was more effective than chest x-ray; number, size and extent of pleural lesions were underestimated by plain film studies. Moreover CT provides a densitometric evaluation of the pleural pathology being useful in differential diagnosis. CT can also be helpful as a guide to needle biopsy.
