pulmonary malignancy commonly attributed to cigarette smoking and inhalation of particles that lodge in the lung
58
define pleural mesothelioma
aggressive, rare lung CA that develops in the pleura caused primarily by inhalation of asbestos fibers

acute infectious disease characterized by a cough with a sound like whoop; whooping cough
60
pleural effusion
abnormal presence of fluid in the pleural cavity
61
pneumothorax
collection of air in the pleural cavity, causing complete or partial collapse of a lung
