Note publique d'information : Mesothelioma is a global problem. Its incidence is rising in Europe, and it is a major
health problem in the USA and other parts of the world, largely related to the previous
use of asbestos products. Diagnosis, which rests on the pathology, is very difficult
because of its diverse appearances and the potential for other diseases to mimic it.
This monograph has been assembled by an international group of experts with a wealth
of experience from France, UK, USA, Australia and Canada to aid in pathological diagnosis.
In all these countries, the disease poses significant health problems. This book deals
with clinical, radiological, epidemiological, molecular, and histopathological aspects
of the disease. Tumors of the pleural, pericardial, peritoneal cavities as well as
the ovary and tunica vaginalis are discussed. Differential diagnoses of serosal-based
lesions are fully discussed and the use of immunohistochemical stains is explained.
Plentiful illustrations give further aid to diagnosis This book is an essential reading
for all diagnostic pathologists as well as general pathologists, who are sometimes
required to diagnose the disease at biopsy or post mortem. It will be also invaluable
read for members of the medical and legal professions who are involved with various
aspects of this disease
