Because it comes from the greek word pleura, a feminine singular noun in the nominitive case, the plural form, grammatically speaking, would be pleurai (plurr-eye).
Whether or not this is the medically accepted plural, I am not sure. Things often get lost in translation (to use a bad idiom) when words are ported from another language to English.
