Core Tip
Core Tip: A 52-year-old women was admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine due to coughing and expectoration accompanied with shortness of breath. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomography showed pleural fluid in the right lung. The carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) concentration was elevated. This is the first case in which nodules and a neoplasm with a fish meat-like appearance in the parietal pleura and nodules with a ‘string of beads’-like appearance in the diaphragm were revealed by thoracoscopic examination. Pelvic magnetic resonance revealed a pelvic mass measuring about 11.6 cm × 10.0 cm × 12.4 cm and the pathology results showed granulosa cell tumor. After the surgery, the hydrothorax subsided, and the CA125 level returned to normal.
