and highly aggressive tumour. A patient presented
with productive cough, haemoptysis, pluritic chest
pain and breathlessness. On investigation, she was
diagnosed as left-sided lung mass with pleural

referred to the oncology team for palliative
chemotherapy. In conclusion, primary pleural
melanoma remains a rare disease with no proven
effective treatment regime available.
