Study Notes
Inherited Metabolic Disorders
- Cystic Fibrosis is the commonest serious inherited metabolic disorder in the UK.
Cystic Fibrosis
- The abnormal gene associated with Cystic Fibrosis is located on chromosome 7.
- Cystic Fibrosis is NOT characterized by tumors in the pleura, as it is a disease affecting the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.
Pleural Tumors
- Secondary pleural tumors are more common than primary pleural tumors.
- Secondary pleural tumors appear as multiple, small, and nodular lesions on the lung surface.
Clinical Manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis
- Cystic Fibrosis has various clinical manifestations, EXCEPT for tumors in the pleura.
Metastasis to the Pleura
- Malignant tumors that most frequently metastasize to the pleura are adenocarcinomas.
Mesothelioma
- The most common cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos.
- A mesothelioma tumor on the pleural surfaces typically appears as a diffuse, thick, and nodular lesion.
- Mesothelioma is NOT characterized by diarrhea, as it is a neoplasm that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart.
