Pleural fibrosis is the most common presentation of all asbestos fiber types.[libbyasbestos.org]
We present a case of SLS in an adolescent in whom imaging and electrophysiology studies demonstrate pleural fibrosis as the fundamental defect accounting for the restrictive lung physiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
DISCUSSION Pleural, mediastinal and retroperitoneal fibrosis usually present as distinct entities.[thorax.bmj.com]
All 24 study participants were sheet metalworkers who were nonsmokers with normal parenchyma on posteroanterior chest radiograph. These subjects had either normal pleura (n 7), circumscribed plaques (n 9), or diffuse pleural thickening (n 8).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A slowly enlarging pleural effusion and significant pleural fibrosis occurred in an asymptomatic patient with a subpleural histoplasmoma. The pleural disease may be a reaction to antigen diffusing into the pleural space from the histoplasmoma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They are frequently asymptomatic and are recognized only on chest imaging. Macroscopic calcification is common. Plaques are not associated with the development of a malignant mesothelioma.[preventmesothelioma.com]
[…] associated with apical lung fibrosis 3 or be asymmetrical. 2 4 7 Conversely, three presentations of mediastinal fibrosis have been suggested: 5 granulomatous mediastinitis (often resulting from tuberculosis) with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes and usually asymptomatic[thorax.bmj.com]
DPT usually progresses slowly and is asymptomatic in many cases, and parietal plaques cause no symptoms. Only patients with acute asbestos pleurisy may have local and systemic symptoms and a moderately elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ 27 ].[ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
However, if this selection may influence the parameter values in the model of estimated prevalence for asbestosis in our sample, this selection bias is probably minor for pleural plaques as this disease is usually asymptomatic [ 23 ].[ehjournal.biomedcentral.com]

The CT scan showed bilateral ureteral stenosis, a non-functional atrophic right kidney and thrombosis of the splenic and left renal veins. An exploratory laparotomy showed a hard fibrous mass in the retroperitoneum adherent to adjacent vessels.[thorax.bmj.com]
Extensive workups including repeated pulmonary ventilation-perfusion scans and cardiac catheterisation have not yielded other diagnoses to explain the pain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

With pneumonia there usually are aerated alveoli and bronchi interspersed within the infiltrate (air-alveolograms and airbronchograms) that gives pneumonia a mottled appearance (inhomogeneous opacification).[mhmedical.com]
Exercise was continued until the subjects indicated they could no longer continue or electrocardiogramchanges indicated that continuing would be dangerous.[cdc.gov]
This implies, like in the case of malignancy, that there is continuing low-grade inflammation, which over time can lead to pleuraladhesions, loculation, and sometimes an entrapped lung.[journals.lww.com]
One limitation of medical thoracoscopy is the limited visualisation of the pleural cavity in patients with significant pleuraladhesions.[academic.oup.com]
Serosal fibrosis is a rarely reported adverse effect of pergolide treatment, although it is well described with other dopamine agonists.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of restrictive lung physiology in SLS is not well-defined, and has been hypothesized to be due to defects in lung recoil, phrenic nerve function and diaphragmatic strength.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The findings suggest a shared etiology for RPF and pleural fibrosis and furthermore possibly a similar pathogenetic mechanisms.[tampub.uta.fi]
According to etiology it may be classified as: benign pleural thickening following recurrent inflammation following recurrent pneumothoraces following a pleural empyema as a delayed complication of a hemothorax collagen-vascular disease (rheumatoid arthritis[radiopaedia.org]
