In these articles, we’ll be discussing the various forms of mesothelioma, how they develop, and more.  There’s basically four primary forms of cancerous, or malignant, mesothelioma, and they are: pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, pericardial mesothelioma, and testicular mesothelioma.  The pleural form develops in the covers of the lungs.  This is the most widespread form of mesothelioma, and 75% of cases originate from a pleural form.

When scar tissue starts building in the pleural membrane, the difficulty of contractions in this area begins to occur normally.  Also, the level of harm with this disease is that breathing can become pretty difficult, and sometimes impossible.  There’s also peritoneal mesothelioma, which begins to form in the abdominal area, and this is the form of about 20% of cases.
