Abstract
Isolated pleural metastatic melanoma is an uncommon clinical condition. Clinical diagnosis can be difficult and therapeutic options are limited. We describe a case where there was isolated pleural metastasis, 10 years following complete excision of a superficial melanotic lesion, which presented like a malignant mesothelioma (‘pseudomesothelioma’).
Keywords: Pleural melanoma; Pseudomesothelioma
