Pleural plaques

Pleural plaques are the most common sign of asbestos exposure.  The condition typically arises 20 to 30 years after exposure to asbestos. 

 

These are a scarring of the outer lining of the lung which normally do not interfere with breathing. In most cases they are not dangerous and do not cause any symptoms.

​

Treatment

Because pleural plaques are non-cancerous in most cases no treatment is required.
