Abstract

The localized fibrous tumour of the pleura, also named localized fibrous mesothelioma or fibroma of the pleura, is a very rare tumour with a benign behaviour. Its origin, clinical behaviour and prognosis are very different from malign mesothelioma. In a 33-year period 22 patients with this diagnosis were surgically treated. The prognosis was excellent. In this article the clinical and radiological signs, as well as the diagnosis and therapy are discussed.
