The costal pleura is separated from the sternum, costal cartilages, ribs, and muscles by a loose connective tissue termed endothoracic fascia, which provides a natural cleavage plane for surgical separation of the pleura from the thoracic wall. (dartmouth.edu)
Lines the thoracic wall which comprises ribs and intercostal spaces to which it is loosely attached by a layer of areolar tissue called the endothoracic fascia. (drbeen.com)
Pancoast syndrome (Pancoast's syndrome) typically results when a malignant neoplasm of the superior sulcus of the lung leads to destructive lesions of the thoracic inlet and involvement of the brachial plexus and cervical sympathetic nerves (stellate ganglion). (medscape.com)
