Article Synopsis
- Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer that usually affects the pleura around the lungs, often leading to serious complications like respiratory failure and weight loss.
- A unique case involved a 73-year-old man with a history of asbestos exposure, diagnosed with MPM alongside miliary pulmonary metastases and nephrotic syndrome, demonstrating unusual manifestations of the disease.
- Despite chemotherapy, the patient’s condition worsened with additional health issues, ultimately leading to his death; this case is considered the first documented instance of MPM associated with both pulmonary metastases and nephrotic syndrome.
