Abstract

We report a rare case of pleural multicystic mesothelial proliferation occurring in a 62-year-old Japanese woman. Macroscopically, the lesion consisted of multiple thin wall cysts containing clear serous fluid. Histologic studies, including hematoxin-eosin stain, as well as the immunohistochemical method, revealed that the lesion was mesothelial in origin and consistent with a reactive change.
