Malignant mesothelioma is a disease originating from the pleura with a high mortality rate. Lymph node involvement is rare.
In this case, we present a patient with axillary lymph node metastasis detected while performing thoracoscopic pleural biopsy. Histopathological examination revealed tumor involvement in the early stage of the disease.
Early diagnosis and treatment are paramount for malignant mesothelioma, which is an aggressive and lethal disease. When lymphadenopathy with pleural thickening is detected, the physician should consider malignant mesothelioma in the differential diagnosis.Keywords: Malignant mesothelioma, lymph node metastasis, axillary lymph node metastasis, thoracoscopyTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2004, 24:425-427
