Abstract

This is a rare case of a primary pleural Müllerian origin tumour which originated outside the genital tract in a woman in her late 40s and was successfully managed using a multimodal treatment approach. Primary pleural Müllerian tumour is a rare and challenging diagnosis which requires a carefully curated approach due to its rarity. In our case, the patient responded well to the treatment and remains disease-free after 3 years of follow-up. This case report highlights the challenges faced in diagnosis, lack of medical literature on the topic and the need for a comprehensive, individualised treatment strategy in managing this uncommon condition.
