Summary
Macroscopic and microscopic details of benign and malignant mesotheliomas are discussed in connection with indications for localization and frequency. Of special significance are malignant mesotheliomas of the pleura and the Peritoneum resulting from exposure to asbestos which had often taken place several decades earlier. It is especially important to objectify the exposure to asbestos by means of histological and pulmonary dust investigations in those cases where the occupational anamnesis is vague or questionable.
Key words
Mesothelioma - Pulmonary examinations for risk of asbestos dust - Millipore filtrate
