Unveiling Malignant Mesothelioma: A Rare Case of Pleural Effusion and Mediastinal Invasion in a 45-Year-Old Construction Worker

We report a rare case of a 45-year-old male construction worker with a history of smoking, who presented with symptoms of breathlessness, palpitations, and decreased appetite. Chest imaging revealed right pleural effusion, and further diagnostic workup indicated a possible neoplastic process. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) demonstrated characteristics consistent with malignant mesothelioma with mediastinal invasion

Abstract

We report a rare case of a 45-year-old male construction worker with a history of smoking, who presented with symptoms of breathlessness, palpitations, and decreased appetite. Chest imaging revealed right pleural effusion, and further diagnostic workup indicated a possible neoplastic process. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) demonstrated characteristics consistent with malignant mesothelioma with mediastinal invasion
