    Abstract:
    A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of dyspnea and right pleural effusion. Malignant pleural mesothelioma was diagnosed, based on the high level of hyaluronic acid in the pleural fluid and manifestation of malignant cells by pleural needle biopsy. Anticancer chemotherapy with cisplatin and intrapleural injections of adriamycin against this mesothelioma was carried out because of the presence of stage III by Butchart's classification. Regression of the tumor, decrease of pleural fluid and decrease of LDH level in effusions were observed after this chemotherapy. Cisplatin was easily transported into the pleural fluid, and its concentration was maintained for a satisfactorily long period.
