Abstract
Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare but aggressive tumor that is linked to asbestos exposure. Pleural mesothelioma is frequently challenging to diagnose because it mimics many other cancers. Among them, the two most common causes of pleural metastasis are breast and primary lung malignancies.
