Giant Fibrous Pleural Mesothelioma Associated with Myocardial Restriction and Hypoglycemia

Abstract
A giant pleural fibrous mesothelioma was the cause of severe nonobstructive ventilatory incapacity, myocardial restriction with congestive failure and hypoglycemic episodes in a 58-year-old man. Surgical resection resulted in complete recovery of respiratory function and disappearance of hypoglycemic episodes.
