Question: what is the treatment for apical pleural thickening reported in the X XXXXXXX of chest. Age 65 years male.
Brief Answer:
Nothing.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that apical pleural thickening does not require any treatment . It would have resulted due to previous lung infection that has healed and does not require any treatment as if now .
Whenever lung pleura is affected by some infection it can result in thickening . But in case you are more concerned you can consult a physician for his opinion.
Take care.
