Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a deadly disease. Complete surgical resection provides patients with the best opportunity for long-term survival. Unfortunately, identification of disease during resection can be challenging. In this report, we describe successful intraoperative utilization of the near-infrared imaging agent, indocyanine green, to help the surgeon identify malignant disease in a patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma who had previously received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This technology may ultimately enhance the thoracic surgeon's ability to identify small disease deposits at the time of resection.

新辅助化疗后，术中近红外成像可成功识别恶性胸膜间皮瘤。

恶性胸膜间皮瘤是一种致命的疾病。完整的手术切除为患者提供了长期生存的最佳机会。不幸的是，在切除过程中识别疾病可能具有挑战性。在本报告中，我们描述了术中成功使用近红外显像剂吲哚菁绿，以帮助外科医生在先前接受过新辅助化疗的恶性胸膜间皮瘤患者中识别恶性疾病。这项技术最终可以增强胸外科医生在切除时识别小病灶的能力。
