摘要：

We report an extremely rare case of minute localized malignant pleural mesothelioma (LMPM) coexisting with multiple lung adenocarcinomas in a 64-year-old woman without a history of smoking or asbestos exposure. A computed tomography scan of the chest displayed total five ground-glass opacities in the lung. Transbronchial lung biopsy from a ground-glass opacity in the posterior segment revealed a bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. With a diagnosis of primary lung cancer, right upper lobectomy and wedge resection of the right lower lobe with systematic lymph node dissection was performed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Incidentally, a minute gray-white nodule measuring 6 mm was detected on the visceral pleural surface of the right upper lobe. The postoperative histological diagnosis was minute LMPM coexisting with multiple adenocarcinomas. © 2010 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.
