Malign plevral mezotelyoma (MPM), y�lda yakla��k 20.000 �l�me neden olan nadir ve agresif bir t�m�rd�r. En s�k g�r�len semptomlar g��s a�r�s�, nefes darl��, �ks�r�k ve kilo kayb�d�r. Radyolojik incelemeler genellikle plevral kal�nla�ma ve plevral ef�zyonu ortaya koyar ancak hastal�k nadiren spontan pn�motoraks veya hidropn�motoraksla da ortaya ��kabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda tekrarlayan pn�motoraks ataklar� ve uzam�� hava ka�a�� olan 57 ya��ndaki erkek hastada video torakoskopik (VATS) inceleme ve biyopsi ile tan� alan epiteloid tip MPM sunulmaktad�r. MPM'ye �zg� herhangi bir semptom veya g�r�nt�leme bulgusu olmasa da tekrarlayan pn�motoraks ata�� ge�iren ya�l� hastalar asbest maruziyeti a��s�ndan sorgulanmal� ve ay�r�c� tan�da MPM ak�lda tutulmal�d�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Pn�motoraks, malign mezotelyoma, g��s yaralanmalar�.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive tumor that leads to approximately 20,000 deaths per year. The most common symptoms are chest pain, shortness of breath, cough and weight loss. Radiologic studies usually reveal pleural thickening and pleural effusion, although the disease can also rarely present with spontaneous pneumothorax or hydropneumothorax. We present here a case of a 57-year-old male diagnosed with occult epithelioid type MPM based on video thoracoscopic (VATS) exploration and biopsy who experienced recurrent pneumothorax attacks and prolonged air leakage. Although there are few symptoms or imaging findings specific to MPM, elderly patients with recurrent pneumothorax attacks should be questioned for asbestos exposure, and MPM should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis.

Keywords: Pneumothorax, malignant mesothelioma, thoracic injuries.
