Abstract:
Malignant neoplasm associated with chronic empyema is rare. Most squamous cell carcinomas of the pleura may occur in association with chronic persistent empyema, with or without pleurocutaneous fistula. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma associated with chronic empyema caused by a metallic foreign body.
