Abstract
Localized fibrous tumours of the pleura (or localized benign mesothelioma) are rare, and in most cases, asymptomatic. This report describes a 48 yr old female with a right-sided fibrous pleural tumour, which produced 171 L of transudate before a correct diagnosis was reached. The tumour was surgically removed and the transudation stopped immediately.Keywords
