    Abstract:
    We experienced malignant localized mesothelioma of which origin was visceral pleura. According to, 1) the preoperative chest X-ray and chest CT which showed extra-pleural sign, 2) the rapid tumor growth, and 3) the result from needle biopsy, we diagnosed malignant localized mesothelioma of which origin was parietal pleura. Surgical treatment was performed, and diagnosed that its origin was visceral pleura. The tumor invaded the lung. It is dangerous to diagnose by means of needle biopsy because of malignant cell implantation. We recommend that firstly the surgical treatment should be carried out for malignant mesothelioma, which needs extended resection for preventing its recurrence.
