Figure 11:
Lung encasement by MPM in a 30-year-old woman. Panel A Cut section of the right lung after extrapleural pneumonectomy shows that all lobes of the lung are completely encased by relatively uniform, nodular tumor growth along the parietal, visceral, and fissural pleural surfaces. The larger tumor masses are in the inferior portion of the right hemithorax. Panel B Photograph (close-up view) of a resected lung (same lung as in Figure 16) shows the lung-tumor interface, extensive visceral pleural involvement, and invasion of the lung parenchyma.
