What is mesothelioma? What causes mesothelioma?

-->

Mesothelioma is a cancer arising from the covering of lungs (pleural mesothelioma), abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma) and the lining of heart (pericardial mesothelioma).

Pleural mesotheliomas are more common than peritoneal ones. Mesotheliomas are usually diffuse and malignant while a few cases are localized and are benign. Most of the mesotheliomas occur from exposure to asbestos fibers for a prolonged period of time.
