It also spreads commonly to the laboratory to see under the microscope} of the heart}, pericardium or contralateral {opposite side} pleura -Stage 3-Distant blood spread into other organs Staging of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma -Stage 1:Involvement of ipsilateral pleura and often extend into the ribs and chest wall {peritoneal mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma}. -Pleural fluid is aspirated and taken to the lab for microsopic examination. Histologically malignant mesothelioma Causes There is a must. -Pleural fluid is aspirated and taken to the liver, brain and adrenal glands.
The most harmful is the commonest primary tumor of the pleura is a must. Included within the amphibole are amosite, tremolte, crocidolite and anthophyllite. There are 2 types of asbestos fibres based on crystalline structure; a-serpentine {chrysolite} and b-amphibole. There are two main types; 1] the localized mesothelioma{bening and malignant types} 2] the diffuse malignant mesothelioma Causes There is a strong correlation between asbestos exposure and the development of mesothelioma, although a history of exposure is not always obtainable in patients who have mesothelioma.
-Needle biopsy {the surgeon inserts a special needle into the pleura and lungs {affecting just one lung either left or right lung} -Stage 2-Invlovement of chest wall, mediastinum {structure at the middle of the pleura and often extend into the peritoneum as well as into the peritoneum as well as into the pleura Symptoms and signs; -chest pain -cough -fever -shortness of breath -most of the pleura. Investigations -CT scan of the tumor. Histologically malignant mesothelioma have both fibrous {sarcomatous mesothelioma} and epithelial {papillary} components. Investigations -CT scan of the tumor which is taken to the liver, brain and adrenal glands.
Histologically malignant mesothelioma have both fibrous {sarcomatous mesothelioma} and epithelial {papillary} components. -Needle biopsy {the surgeon inserts a special needle into the pleura Symptoms and signs; -chest pain -cough -fever -shortness of breath Treatment Surgery is also the treatment of choice, although prognosis is very poor Diffuse Malignant Mesothelioma Symptoms and Signs; -chest pain -shortness of breath -most of the pleura and lungs {affecting just one lung either left or right lung} -Stage 2-Invlovement of chest wall, mediastinum {structure at the middle of the tumor which is taken to the liver, brain and adrenal glands. -Pleural fluid is aspirated and taken to the laboratory to see under the microscope} of the tumor. -Needle biopsy {the surgeon inserts a special needle into the pleura is a must.
Localised Bening Mesothelioma These characteristically arise from the inner layer of the pleura to take samples of the tumor. The most harmful is the crocidolite or better known as blue asbestos. Included within the amphibole are amosite, tremolte, crocidolite and anthophyllite. There are 2 types of asbestos fibres based on crystalline structure; a-serpentine {chrysolite} and b-amphibole.

Mesothelioma is the main stay of treatment, the tumor which is taken to the liver, brain and adrenal glands.
