Pleural invasion is the presence of tumour in the pleura. Pleural invasion is poor prognosticator in lung cancer.[1][2]
The visceral pleura is the pleura that covers the lung. The parietal pleural covers the chest wall.
Modified Hammar classification
Can be subgrouped:[1]
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| PL0 | tumour confined to lung, not through elastic layer |
| PL1 | tumour beyond elastic layer of visercal pleura, not at pleural surface |
| PL2 | tumour at surface of pleura, not in parietal pleura |
| PL3 | tumour within parietal pleura and visceral pleura |
