[Malignant mesothelioma located in the pleura: its radical surgical treatment].
The authors report a rare case of localized malignant pleural mesothelioma infiltrating the thoracic wall. The absence of widespread pleural involvement allowed for a radical operation with removal of a large portion of the thoracic wall. However, due to rarity of such tumor, an hypothesis on long term prognosis is difficult to formulate.
