Abstract

Eleven cases of benign localized mesotheliomas of the pleura are described. Ten patients were asymptomatic and discovered by routine X-rays. In eight cases the tumour was localized in the visceral pleura and all tumours showed only a benign mesenchymal component. Non-neoplastic epithelial structures can become entrapped within the tumour. A benign clinical behaviour and an excellent prognosis could be expected after surgical resection.
