Background:

Benign mesothelioma of the pleura is an exceptionally rare neoplasm.
Tumor cells originate from mesothelium or submesothelium, leading to varied nomenclature (e.g., pleural fibroma, localized fibrous tumor).
Unlike malignant pleural mesothelioma, benign forms are not associated with asbestos exposure and exhibit very slow growth over years or decades.
