Mesothelioma has several types and can attack several parts of the body, among others:
1. Pleural Mesothelioma (lining of the lungs) This type is the most common type of mesothelioma occurs of all mesothelioma. Usually caused by frequent inhalation of asbestos fiber dust, which is then trapped in the pleura and cause scarring and inflammation.
2. Peritoneal Mesothelioma (lining of the abdominal cavity) The second most common type develops in the peritoneum, which is the tissue that lines the abdomen. As with pleural mesothelioma, the cause is dust and asbestos fibers are either swallowed or find its way into the digestive tract to settle and develop in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
3. Pericardial Mesothelioma (the sac that surrounds the heart) Mesothelioma is ranked third most frequently attacks the tissue that lines the heart. The cause is also asbestos, and this cancer develops from abnormal cells that have been developed in the pleura. Somehow the process, but this asbestos dust can break through into the pericardium and develop in the lining of the heart.
4. Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis (internal layer of the male sex organs)
5. Mesothelioma of the tunica serosa uteri (internal lining of the female sex organs) Both types of mesothelioma is the most rare. Although not yet sure exactly how asbestos dust can settle and attack the female and male sex organs, but some cases do show that asbestos dust into the main cause.
