Fibrous Mesothelioma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Fibrous mesothelioma is a rare tumor that develops in the membranes that line the lungs and other cavities of the body, known as serous membranes, arising from the cells that form them.
Possible manifestations: It may run its course without discomfort for a long time or be associated with shortness of breath, chest pain, and persistent cough when it grows and affects breathing.
Who studies it? The pulmonologist assesses the respiratory impact, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon steps in in cases that require management of the chest.
When to consult? In the presence of respiratory discomfort that does not let up or chest findings on an imaging study, a specialized evaluation is advisable to clarify its nature.
