Abstract

A case of localized fibrous pleural mesothelioma in a 55 year-old male patient with hypoglycemic sympotoms was presented. The patient had also clubbed fingers. A large mass occupied 1/2 to 2/3 of right hemithorax was shown by plain film. An isoechoic mass to the liver was seen by ultrasonography with low echoic areas. A well defined border mass with isodensity to the liver with areas of low density was observed by CT scan. Ultrasonography helped separating the mass from the normal liver. Surgery was performed with easiness and the tumor was totally removed with the disappearance of the hypoglycemic symptoms.
