Images were reviewed in consensus by three observers for distribution, location, shape, maximal thickness, echogenicity, homogeneity, and suspected intercostal muscle invasion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010two cats were included. Pleural thickening was recorded in all cats. Thickening was classified as diffuse in 12 cats, focal in 6, and multifocal in 4; however, scanning was not systematic across all thoracic regions. The representative or measured pleural abnormality was in the cranial pleural region in 18 cats. Maximal pleural thickness was 5.6 \u00b1 3.3\u00a0mm (median, 4.9\u00a0mm; range, 1.2\u201316.2\u00a0mm). Suspected intercostal muscle invasion was recorded in eight cats. Neoplastic cells were identified in pleural effusion cytology in 15\/20 cats. Six cats underwent ultrasound\u2010guided lesion sampling; cytologic or histopathologic findings were supportive of carcinoma in all 6, including 1 confirmed by biopsy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this selected cohort, thoracic ultrasonography identified pleural thickening with variable morphology.
