Pleural plaque or pleural thickening involves scarring of the lining of the lung indicating that an individual has had lung damage sufficient to be at risk for more serious complications. This condition is not cancerous. However, plaque or thickening impairs lung function, restricting breathing capacity. This is significant in that it is an indication this person is at a greater risk than the general population of developing lung cancer or mesothelioma.
