Peritoneal mesothelioma is usually a rapidly fatal primary peritoneal surface malignancy with a median survival time of less than 1 year, mainly because of lack of effective treatment. The incidence is approximately one per 1,000,000; approximately one fifth to one third of all mesotheliomas are peritoneal.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1987
Pleural mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors. Correct diagnosis of the benign variant is rarely made preoperatively, and resection is the treatment of choice and is curative. Malignant pleural mesotheliomas are locally aggressive and difficult to treat. They may be seen clinically as localized pleural tumors or as diffuse pleural disease with effusion and

Malignant mesothelioma is a well-recognized long-term sequela of chronic asbestos exposure. Asbestos use in the United States began in the 1950s and was widespread until the mid-1970s. Although currently only 2.2 cases per million population per year are diagnosed, disease incidence is increasing because of the long latency of this neoplasm.

Metastases in pleural mesothelioma usually occur late in the disease process. Diffuse involvement of the lung parenchyma is rare. A patient with miliary pulmonary parenchymal involvement with malignant mesothelioma is described. To our knowledge, this represents the first such case reported.

Primary pericardial mesothelioma (PM) is a rare tumor arising from the mesothelial cells of the pericardium. It has an incidence of <0.05% and comprises <2% of all mesotheliomas; however, it is the most common primary malignancy of the pericardium.

Radiology, 1978
Five cases of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma are reported. Its radiographic manifestations consisted of a desmoplastic mesenteric process with or without a localized mass displacing gastrointestinal structures. Appreciation of the nature of this tumor permits pathologic-radiologic correlation and an understanding of the radiographic changes.

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive, treatment-resistant tumour, which is increasing in frequency throughout the world. Although the main risk factor is asbestos exposure, a virus, simian virus 40 (SV40), could have a role. Mesothelioma has an unusual molecular pathology with loss of tumour suppressor genes being the predominant pattern of lesions,

Abstract Neoplasms arising from the surface or lining cells of the ovary are classically referred to under such general terms as cystadenocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma, and undifferentiated cancer. Evidence is presented in this discussion to support the thesis that such lesions are mesotheliomas, and that such a thesis can be defended ...

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm often related to previous asbestos exposure. In 14 cases the diagnosis before surgery was virtually impossible, as patients presented with vague abdominal complaints and nonspecific physical examination findings. Laboratory testing (including computed tomography) was of no added diagnostic help.
