    Abstract:
    Thoracoscopy examinations in 5 cases of solid tumors of the pleura: 1 case of Pancoast's and Tobias' tumors of neoplastic origin, 1 case of asbestosis-induced fibrohyaline plaques, and 2 cases of benign pleural tumors, 1 neurinoma emphasized the diagnostic value of thoracoscopy for tumors of this type.
