title: Localized benign biphasic mesothelioma of the pleura.
abstract: A localized benign biphasic mesothelioma of the pleura is described. Immunohistochemically the epithelial-like cells contained vimentin intermediate filaments only, while electron microscopy revealed signs of true mesothelial differentiation demonstrating the hybrid nature of neoplastic mesothelial cells.
