Learn the Facts on Visceral Pleural Lesions Related to Asbestos Exposure

Occurrence of visceral pleural lesions
The visceral pleural lesions are much less common than are plaques.

There are no good studies on their prevalence, probably mainly due to the fact that they are only rarely recognized to be due to asbestos.

In most cases, they are diagnosed as remnants of unspecific pleurisy.

Importance of visceral pleural lesions
The visceral pleural lesions are associated with a usually quite considerable lowering of lung function.

Visceral pleural lesions usually also imply a fairly heavy exposure to asbestos, with a risk of other asbestos-related diseases.
