Pleural Effusion Mesothelioma
Pleural effusion is one of the most common symptoms of mesothelioma. It is fluid accumulation between the visceral pleura (the membrane that covers the lungs) and parietal pleura (the membrane that covers the diaphragm and chest wall). Both the visceral pleura and parietal pleura are covered with mesothelial cells which give rise to a small amount of fluid that acts as a lubricant between the lung and chest wall. Lymph vessels absorb any excess fluid to maintain a balance. Pleural effusion occurs when there is of too much fluid and it is not absorbed by the lymph vessels.
