Abstract
The incidence of subsequent pleural malignancy (mesothelioma) among patients found to have NSP based on pleural biopsy was 3.5%. Occult mesothelioma in patients with NSP will most likely be diagnosed within 1 year of the initial pleural biopsy; therefore, these patients should be followed for a minimum of 1 year to allow for timely detection of occult pleural malignancy.
