ABSTRACT
Pleural mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that is usually highly malignant, although benign forms do occur. We report a 68 year old man who had severe hypoglycemic episodes with a mass occupying about two thirds of the right hemithorax. The tumor, later proven to be a benign mesothelioma, was successfully resected. Complete reexpansion of the lung occurred postoperatively and hypoglycemic symptoms disappeared
