Localized malignant pleural mesothelioma (LMPM) is an extremely rare tumor. We report the case of a 40-year-old Japanese male with an LMPM mimicking an anterior mediastinal tumor due to invasion to the anterior mediastinum, and we discuss mainly the differentiation of LMPM from an anterior mediastinal tumor. The present tumor had a long shape along the pleura, and LMPM could be one of the differential diagnoses.
局限性恶性胸膜间皮瘤(LMPM)是一种极为罕见的肿瘤。我们报告了一例40岁日本男性患者,其LMPM因侵犯前纵隔而酷似前纵隔肿瘤,并且我们主要讨论LMPM与前纵隔肿瘤的鉴别诊断。目前的肿瘤沿胸膜呈长形,LMPM可能是鉴别诊断之一。
