Abstract
A case is presented of a malignant localized pleural fibroma occurring in a 60-year-old Turkish female who was environmentally exposed to tremolite. The tumor was excised but recurred 3 years later when it was again excised. It is possible that more radical surgery at initial presentation with chest wall resection would have been advantageous.Keywords
