Abstract
There are few reports of primary malignant tumours of the pleura other than mesothelioma. Reports of squamous-cell carcinoma of the pleura are especially rare. Epidermoid carcinoma of the pleura may occur in connection with persistent empyema drained by a pleurocutaneous fistula or long-standing extrapleural pneumothorax without fistula.Keywords
