Hi @edsch, it sounds like you've read something from an imaging or pathology report and you haven't had a chance to discuss it with your doctor yet. All I can provide are some definitions of the terms. For example,
- The pleura includes two thin layers of tissue that protect and cushion the lungs.
- A tethered lung is a lung that following drainage of the pleural space does not fully re-expand.
- A lung (pulmonary) nodule is an abnormal growth that forms in a lung.

Was this in a report that you got? What was being investigated?
