  • Title: Extrapleural pneumonectomy for primary pleural mullerian tumor in a young woman.
    Author: Farivar AS, Louie BE, Aye RW, Horton MP, Vallières E.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2012 Jan; 93(1):e1-2. PubMed ID: 22186481.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a low-grade mullerian tumor of right pleural origin in a 23-year-old woman treated with an aggressive multimodal treatment paradigm. This tumor is heretofore undescribed in the medical literature. She received induction therapy of carboplatin and paclitaxel with minimal response, then had a maximally cytoreductive right extrapleural pneumonectomy. She subsequently underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy to the right hemithorax. We propose a treatment paradigm for this previously undescribed primary pleural mullerian tumor.
