Localized pleural malignant mesothelioma
Pathology International, 2001Pleural malignant mesothelioma (PMM) is a rare tumor and it is commonly seen in the form of multiple nodules or a diffuse tumor. A localized tumor mass in the pleura is extremely rare. Only seven cases have been reported. In this report, we present an additional case of localized PMM and describe the immunohistochemical and flow cytometric findings.

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
2001Malignant pleural mesothelioma remains a difficult tumor to treat, much less cure. Currently, the best chance for long-term survival lies with early diagnosis and aggressive surgical extirpation, but given the typically long delay between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis, this is only possible with a high index of suspicion and an aggressive ...

This type of tumor should be distinguished from diffuse malignant pleural mesothelioma, because a good outcome may be obtained by surgical resection. We report a case of LMPM which grew rapidly within 1 year.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma: Staging systems
Lung Cancer, 2005Malignant pleural mesothelioma has a very specific growth pattern invading the pleural surfaces and neighboring structures. For this reason precise estimation of tumor volume and description of local extension are particularly difficult. Different staging systems have been introduced, and the most widely used are discussed.
