Pleural mesothelioma is the tumor of the cell of mesodermal origin lining the pleura. It is relatively uncommon tumor and its localized form is much rarer than diffuse form. Authors experienced a localized mesothelioma in a patient who was 44 year old male worker at copper plumbing field for 20 years, and admitted due to incidentally found abnormal chest X-ray. Exploratory thoracotomy was done and a 23 x 16 x 8 cm sized solitary mass was resected with adherent right middle lobe. Low grade malignancy of the pleural mesothelioma was confirmed by the pathology. We report the case with a literature review.
