Özet

Pleural metastases mimic malignant mesothelioma result from rare tumours. The most common tumour that metastase to pleura is primary bronchogenic adenocarcinoma. Other primary lung tumours rarely matastase to pleura. Although lung is the most common site for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastases, pleural effusion and pleural matestases resulting pseudomesothelioma is very rare. Herein we report two cases of pseudomesothelioma resulting from small cell carcinoma and RCC.
