Tóm tắt

We report successful surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in a 14-year-old boy with right aortic arch. Pleural biopsy by video-assisted thoracic surgery yielded a diagnosis of MPM, epithelial type. As the disease was not changed after combination chemotherapy with three cycles of cisplatin and gemcitabine, we performed left extrapleural pneumonectomy, including resection of the pericardium and diaphragm for MPM, and aortopexy for right aortic arch. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient has remained alive without disease for 10 months postoperatively.
