The visceral pleura is the pleura that covers the [[lung]]; tumour invasion into it is known as '''visceral pleural invasion''' (abbreviated '''VPI'''). The parietal pleural covers the chest wall. | The visceral pleura is the pleura that covers the [[lung]]; tumour invasion into it is known as '''visceral pleural invasion''' (abbreviated '''VPI''').
