Subpleural fibrosis is a condition characterized by the formation of fibrous tissue beneath the pleural surface of the lungs, often as a result of chronic inflammation or injury. This fibrosis can lead to thickening of the pleura and may restrict lung expansion, potentially causing respiratory issues. It is commonly associated with various lung diseases, including interstitial lung disease and asbestosis. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, such as CT scans, and management focuses on addressing the underlying cause and alleviating symptoms.
