Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Manual of Oncology, 2e AB - Malignant mesothelioma is a rare malignancy arising from the mesothelial cells of the pleural or peritoneal surfaces. Mesothelioma can arise from the pleura (pleural mesothelioma), peritoneum (peritoneal mesothelioma), pericardium (pericardial mesothelioma), or tunica vaginalis (testicular mesothelioma). In the United States, there are approximately 3000 new cases of mesothelioma reported annually. Eighty percent of these occur as pleural mesothelioma, and this will be the focus of this chapter.
