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.
