Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is
almost always caused by previous exposure
to asbestos.[1] In this disease, malignant
cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective
lining that covers most of the body's internal
organs. Its most common site is the pleura
(outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity),
but it may also occur in the peritoneum
(the lining of the abdominal cavity) or the
pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart).
