Abstract
We report a middle-aged man, without occupational or environmental exposure to asbestos, who presented with spontaneous pneumothorax. Computed tomography showed a 13-mm right apical mass. He underwent tumorectomy and was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma. A local recurrence with multiple and diffuse pleural involvement later appeared. The patient eventually underwent panpleuropneumonectomy, recovered well, and has been doing well for 18 months.Entities:
