A
37-year-old pregnant woman presented at 18
weeks' gestation with unrelenting chest
and shoulder pain, massive pleural
effusion, and a large thoracic mass.
Biopsy revealed an undifferentiated
sarcomatous pleural mesothelioma.
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare thoracic
malignancy, which has not been described
in pregnancy and appears to be minimally
affected by the pregnant state.
