“…This type of malignant tumor is more frequent at level of the parietal pleura, toward inferior portions with a pattern of diffuse growth, it encapsulates the whole lung and it invades thoracic structures; clinically it is presented with pleural effusion recidivist and thoracic pain. 11 In our patient the thoracic pain was the initial element that due to the character and the irradiation was interpreted as a somatic etiology. Clinical element that suggest a tumoral diagnosis were the duration and worsened of pain on the time.…”

Mesothelioma is a tumor that derives from the mesodermic surface of the celomic embryonic cavity. Since the 50 th decade of in the last century the association of this tumor is known with the asbestos. Nevertheless, the appearance in young patients without exposure to this substance they have been described. Although it is not very frequent in the medical practice. The case that we present of a 19 years old male who went for thoracic pain, dyspnea on effort and loss of weight of 6 months of evolution. An epithelioid mesothelioma with papillary areas was histologically diagnosed. Their evolution isn´t modified by the treatment at all with Carboplatino, Paclitaxel and Vinblastina.

“…En un ensayo clínico aleatorizado en 2008, realizado en el Reino Unido, con pacientes diagnosticados con mesotelioma y que recibieron ciclos cortos de quimioterapia, se observó que aquellos sometidos adicionalmente a neumonectomía extrapleural presentaban mayor supervivencia, comparados con los pacientes que no se sometieron a este procedimiento (nueve vs. siete meses, respectivamente) (11).…”

Introducción: el mesotelioma epitelioide es un tumor que se desarrolla en las capas embrionarias mesoteliales; es de etiología desconocida, pero se relaciona con la exposición al asbesto. Tiene una presentación clínica inespecífica y un pronóstico de sobrevida corto después del diagnóstico. Presentación del caso: hombre de profesión mecánico automotor, con tos sin expectoración, disnea, hipertermia y emaciación posterior a la extracción quirúrgica de lipomas que afectaban el tórax, quien posteriormente fue diagnosticado con mesotelioma epitelioide maligno con ubicación en la pleura del hemitórax derecho y fue tratado con toracotomía, quimioterapia con los medicamentos pemetrexed y cisplatino y sesiones de radioterapia, que mostraron un aumento en la sobrevida 3 tres años. Conclusión: este caso permitió identificar que el uso de la pleurodesis química con quimioterapia como tratamiento podría ser responsable del aumento de la esperanza de vida y la calidad de esta en los pacientes que padecen este tipo de tumor.
