Mesothelioma is a kind of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. In this illness, malevolent cells develop in the mesothelium, a protecting lining that covers almost all of the body’s internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura ( outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall ), but it could also happen in the peritoneum ( the liner of the intestinal cavity ), the heart, the pericardium ( a sac that surrounds the heart ) or tunica vaginalis.
