Abstract

Benign mesothelioma of the pleura is a very rare tumor. The cells responsible originate from either the mesothelium or the submesothelium. This is why such tumors are described in the literature as fibroma of the pleura, mesothelial fibroma, localized fibrous mesothelioma and monophasic spindle cell tumor. Their growth, is very slow taking several years or even decades. In contrast to the more common malignant mesothelioma of the pleura, it is not related to asbestos exposure. This report deals with a 47-year-old woman patient with a giant benign mesothelioma of the pleura in the region of the right thorax, which was completely removed by thoracotomy.

Zusammenfassung

Das benigne Pleuramesotheliom ist ein sehr seltener Tumor, für deren Ursprung die Mesothelien, aber auch das submesotheliale Bindegewebe diskutiert wird. Daher werden these Tumoren in der Literatur u. a. auch als Pleurafibrom, submesotheliales Fibrom, lokalisiertes fibröses Mesotheliom und monophasischer Spindelzelltumor beschrieben. Das Wachstum dieser Tumoren ist sehr langsam und geht über Jahre his Jahrzehnte. Im Gegensatz zum häufiger auftretenden malignen Pleuramesotheliom ist ein gehäuftes Auftreten nach Asbestex-position nicht zu beobachten. Wir berichten über eine 47jährige Patientin mit einem großen benignen Pleuramesotheliom im Bereich des rechten Thorax.
