Localized thickening and adhesion of the bilateral upper pleura may be caused by pleuritis or possibly due to pulmonary tuberculosis. Additionally, such findings can also occur in association with other diseases. When the above conditions are present, it is recommended to undergo further relevant examinations to determine the underlying cause before initiating treatment.
