Localized malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of malignant mesothelioma. It presents as a localized mass which is identified as serosal or subserosal and has all the characteristic microscopic findings of diffuse malignant mesotelioma. We evaluated a patient admitted with a thoracic wall mass which was later diagnosed as biphasic mesothelioma.

Keywords: Localized malignant mesothelioma, pleural effusion; thoracic wall mass.
