mesothelioma has several types and can attack several parts of the body, including:
1. Mesothelioma pleura (lining of the lungs)
This type is the most common of all mesotheliomas. Usually caused by frequent inhalation of asbestos fiber dust, which is then trapped in the pleura and causes scarring and inflammation.
2. Peritoneal mesothelioma (membrane of the abdominal cavity)
The second most common type develops in the peritoneum, which is the tissue lining the stomach. Similar to pleural mesothelioma, the cause is dust and asbestos fibers that are either ingested or find its way into the digestive tract so that it settles and develops in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
3. Pericardial mesothelioma (pockets that surround the heart)
Mesothelioma is ranked third most often that attacks the tissue lining the heart. The cause is also asbestos, and this cancer develops from abnormal cells that have developed in the pleura. Somehow the process, but this asbestos dust can penetrate into the pericardium and develop in the lining of the heart.
4. Mesothelioma of the testicle of the tunica vaginalis (internal lining of the male sex organs) and 5. Mesothelioma of the uterine tunica serosa (internal membrane of the female sex organ)
These two types of mesothelioma are the most rare. Although it is uncertain how exactly asbestos dust can settle and attack the female sex organs of this man, but some cases do show that asbestos dust is the main cause.
