Abstract
A middle aged female presented with recurrent left sided pleural effusion. Pleuroscopy revealed a well circumscribed pleural mass. Biopsy from that mass revealed features of capillary haemangioma. She was successfully treated by surgical excision of the pleural mass. The case is being reported for the extreme rarity of haemangioma in pleura.
