  • Title: [Primary malignant tumors of the pleura. Pleural Mesothelioma (P.M.)].
    Author: Valenti S.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1976 Apr 15; 31(7):307-18. PubMed ID: 1004744.
    Abstract:
    The clinical overture, symptomatology and morphoradiological picture of a personal series of primary pleural tumours (70 mesothelioma and 1 fibrosarcoma) are described. Conventional and more recent instrumental, cytohistological and bioptic methods of diagnosis are explained, with particular reference to pioneering experience gained with fibropleuroscopy in the Genoa Clinical Department. While dependable diagnosis can now be virtually assured, surgical and pneumological management holds out few prospects of success.
