Macroscopic and microscopic details of benign and malignant mesotheliomas are discussed
in connection with indications for localization and frequency. Of special significance
are malignant mesotheliomas of the pleura and the Peritoneum resulting from exposure
to asbestos which had often taken place several decades earlier. It is especially
important to objectify the exposure to asbestos by means of histological and pulmonary
dust investigations in those cases where the occupational anamnesis is vague or questionable.
