Pleural mesotheliomas are rare primary tumors of the pleura. Three groups are classified under the term mesothelioma : 1) benign pleural mesothelioma for which complete surgical treatment is curative with a good prognosis; 2) localized malignant mesothelioma which is a fibrosarcoma, best treated by wide en-bloc resection; 3) diffuse malignant mesothelioma which is mainly of epithelial type. 1, record 3, English, - benign%20pleural%20mesothelioma
