Benign Localized Fibrous Mesothelioma of Pleura
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Localized fibrous mesothelioma of pleura is a relatively uncommon tumor of which histogenesis of the tumor cells is still controversial. It remains uncertain whether this tumor takes origin from mesothelial cells or submesothelial connective tissue. Although some of tissue culture and electron microscopic studies reveal both epithelial and fibroblastic nature, others, employing immunohistochemical studies, fail to reveal an evidence op epithelial characteristics.
The authors report a typical case of histologically benign form of localized fibrous mesothelioma of the right pleura in a 54-year-old Korean female along a brief review of some related literatures with a special reference on the histogenesis of the tumor cells.
This is the second reported case of benign localized fibrous mesothelioma of pleura, followed by the report of Kwon et al(1984)in Korea.
