A case of a 64-year-old man with metastatic malignant mesothelioma is described in detail. When he presented to us he gave a history suggestive of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) 2 weeks before and 3 days after admission he developed weakness of the left upper limb. Computed tomographic scan of the brain revealed a solitary metastasis in the right cerebrum. A few days later, he developed subcutaneous metastasis in the chin. Malignant mesothelioma is considered to metastasize rarely and to spread locally. We suggest that distant metastasis in malignant mesothelioma is not uncommon and may be considered to behave like other forms of lung cancer. Treatment modalities should be studied in such patients.
