Malignant Pericardial Mesothelioma is extremely rare form of mesothelioma cancer that makes up 5 percent of all mesothelioma cases. Until now, less than 150 cases have been presented in medical literature and about 200 cases have been reported worldwide.
In malignant Mesothelioma, there is formation of malignant cells in the abdomen or chest lining. Lots of individuals with malignant Mesothelioma have worked in places where they swallowed or inhaled asbestos. Once you are exposed to asbestos, you will find that it takes years for malignant Mesothelioma to show symptoms.
Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the abdominal lining or the peritoneum that is why it is called abdominal mesothelioma. This membrane supports and covers the organs of the abdomen. The peritoneum is made of two parts, the visceral and parietal peritoneum. The visceral peritoneum covers the internal organs and covers just about all of the outer layer of the intestinal tract.
Patients easily breathe in asbestos due to its minute particles size. These particles then become embedded deep inside the lungs where they cause either scarring (asbestosis) or lung cancer. If these fibers travel from the lung into the blood stream, they may enter other parts of the body such as the peritoneum and the lining covering the abdominal cavity, and may result in abdominal mesothelioma.
