Malignant pleural effusions usually manifest in the course of metastatic cancer disease. Primary pleural tumours are rare with mesothelioma being by far the most common. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the pleura (PSCCP) is extremely rare. It is usually asymptomatic, until it invades the pleura presenting pain as the first symptom. Our knowledge about its treatment or prognosis is limited due to its rarity. We present the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with persistent right-sided thoracic pain with chest computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrating a right-sided pleural effusion and pleural mass invading the ribs. Ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed a PSCCP. Positron emission tomography staging demonstrated metastatic lung and lymph node involvement precluding surgical therapy. We provide information about treatment, including immunotherapy as well as extended follow-up course. Immunotherapy with nivolumab resulted in prolongation of survival with good quality of life.

“…Due to the extreme rarity of primary pleural SCC, its incidence is not described in the literature, and the cause of this disease is unclear. We performed a literature search and found that SCC arising from the pleura had been reported in a few patients with chronic postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulas [1]. Chronic pleural inflammation may therefore be one of the causes of primary pleural SCC.…”

Primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma is very rare, and there is a lack of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. An asymptomatic 75-year-old man was referred to us after a right pleural nodule was found on computed tomography during a routine health examination. He underwent surgery for his pleural tumor twice over the following 2 years. Histopathological examination eventually led to a diagnosis of primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma.
