| Resumo: | Malignant mesothelioma is an invariable lethal neoplasia that arises from mesothelial cells from pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium or tunica vaginalis. It represents less than 1% of all tumors and its incidence is rising in the recent years. The typical clinical presentation is thoracic pain, dyspnea and recurrent pleural effusion. The authors present a clinical case of an 80 year-old man with a hydropneumothorax, which etiologic investigation culminated with the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma. |
