Benign Fibrous Mesothelioma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Benign fibrous mesothelioma, also known as solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura, is an uncommon growth that develops in the membrane lining the lungs. Unlike malignant mesothelioma, it usually behaves in a benign way.
Common symptoms: it often causes no discomfort and is discovered by chance; when it grows it may cause cough, chest pain, or shortness of breath.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable with a persistent cough or difficulty breathing without a clear explanation.
Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist evaluates the lung involvement, and the thoracic surgeon steps in when removal of the lesion is being considered. If you have prolonged respiratory symptoms, having them reviewed by these professionals helps guide the evaluation.
