Quality of Life Is Not Deteriorated After Extrapleural Pneumonectomy vs. (Extended) Pleurectomy/Decortication in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma.
Front Surg

Department of Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is highly abandoned due to high morbidity and mortality rates and impaired quality of life (QoL). However, there are still rare indications for this intervention. The aim of this longitudinal prospective study was to monitor QoL and lung function in patients undergoing EPP and compare the outcomes with extended pleurectomy/decortication [(E)PD].

Introduction: In the 1930-50s, before the introduction of antimicrobial drugs and development of techniques of pulmonary resssection, collapse therapy was the mainstream of treatment for cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. The methods to achieve the collapse included artificial pneumothorax with air refills, phrenic nerve crush, thoracoplasty and extrapleural plombage. The plombage involves creating a cavity surgically under the ribs in the upper chest wall and filling the space with inert material, such fat, paraffin wax, rubber ballons, oil and methyl-methacrylate (Lucite) balls.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare spindle cell neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that most commonly arise within pleura and have also been reported in many extrapleural sites including the orbit. Cavitary changes within SFT of both pleura and extrapleural sites have been documented, but remain very rare. To the authors' knowledge, the third known case of an orbital solitary fibrous tumor containing large pseudocystic cavities is described.
