Pleural mesothelioma is a malignant tumor, which develops from the pleural mesothelial lining. We report a clinical observation of a 24-year-old young man who presented with a right serohematic pleurisy and ulcerative budding skin lesion of the right abdominal wall. Through this case, we highlight a very rare, atypical metastatic localization that can be clinically confused with a primary skin tumor.
