Abstract
We report a case of malignant pleural mesothelioma in a patient who presented with pleural effusion and reticulonodular shadow on chest radiograph. Pulmonary metastases were diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy specimen and the patient died of extensive pulmonary metastases. This pattern of clinical and radiographic presentation is seldom reported for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
