The surgical management of 18 patients diagnosed as having malignant mesothelioma is reviewed. Of these patients, 7 received limited treatment—pleurectomy or biopsy. The mean survival was 10 months, and no patient was disease-free at time of death. The other 11 patients were treated by radical extrapleural pneumonectomy. There were 2 long-term, disease-free survivors at 2 and 4 years. Mean survival for the entire group was 15 months, but most patients received good palliation following tumor removal.Surgical procedures for removal of malignant mesothelioma can be accomplished safely and without major morbidity. When possible, radical extrapleural pneumonectomy affords the best palliation and the only opportunity for cure. 相似文献

We report a case of a 42-year-old man with a right pleural mesothelioma. This neoplasm has 3 rare features. Firstly, it was a localized form: suspected by imaging, visualized by video-assisted thoracoscopy, at the time of the curative-thoracotomy and confirmed by the pathological analysis. The second characteristic is its histological type: “malignant lymphohistiocytoid mesothelioma”. This rare subtype has been reported in only 4 papers. Third, after pleuro-pneumonectomy, our patient is alive after 6 years and 5 months postoperatively without any sign of recurrence. Only one case with a long follow-up has been reported but with recurrence at 5 years postoperatively. 相似文献

Forty-six patients with diffuse, mixed malignant pleural mesothelioma were treated between January, 1970, and May, 1979. All had a history of exposure to asbestos. The diagnosis was established by thoracentesis in 3 patients, thoracoscopy in 28, thoracotomy in 5, and minithoracotomy in 9. Mediastinoscopy was performed in 31 patients and bronchoscopy in 32. Mediastinoscopy was positive in only 1 patient, and in no patient was bronchoscopy positive.Ten patients received no definitive therapy and survived an average of 9.1 months (1 lived for 16 months). Thirty-one patients received chemotherapy and survived an average of 9.6 months, the 2 longest survivors each lived for 24 months. Five patients appeared to have early disease and therefore underwent thoracotomy. In only 2 of these patients did resection of all gross disease appear possible. One patient with incomplete removal is still alive after 9 months. The other 4 are all dead, having survived an average of only 6.75 months.We believe that pleural mesothelioma should be considered an unresectable neoplasm because of its multicentric origin and its diffusely invasive nature, and that attempts at partial or complete resection are not indicated. Until prospective, controlled studies demonstrate otherwise, patients with diffuse, mixed malignant mesothelioma should have the most benign surgical procedure necessary to establish a diagnosis. 相似文献

In this paper we report a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare abdominal tumour. A 72-year-old male with a medical history of heart disease presented to our Clinic because of pain in the right half of the abdomen. Diagnostic procedures, including clinical and laboratory examination, X-ray, ultrasonography and computed tomography, revealed a tumour in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. The approximate size of the tumour size at initial detection was 7 cm. During the pre-operative procedure an evident growth of the tumour was noticed, indicating exploratory laparotomy. Intra-operative findings revealed a large tumour of the anterolateral abdominal wall, involving the greater omentum. Tumour resection was performed, as well as resection of the portion of the anterolateral abdominal wall and omentectomy. Postoperative immunohistochemical analysis revealed malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. 相似文献
