     From the Back Cover
 Mesothelioma is a global problem. Its incidence is rising in
Europe, and it is a major health problem in the USA and other parts of
the world, largely related to the previous use of asbestos products.
Diagnosis, which rests on the pathology, is very difficult because of
its diverse appearances and the potential for other diseases to mimic
it.
   This monograph has been assembled by an
international group of experts with a wealth of experience from France,
UK, USA, Australia and Canada to aid in pathological diagnosis. In all
these countries, the disease poses significant health problems. This
book deals with clinical, radiological, epidemiological, molecular, and
histopathological aspects of the disease. Tumors of the pleural,
pericardial, peritoneal cavities as well as the ovary and tunica
vaginalis are discussed. Differential diagnoses of serosal-based lesions
are fully discussed and the use of immunohistochemical stains is
explained. Plentiful illustrations give further aid to diagnosis
   This
book is an essential reading  for all diagnostic pathologists as well
as general pathologists, who are sometimes required to diagnose the
disease at biopsy or post mortem. It will be also invaluable read for
members of the medical and legal professions who are involved with
various aspects of this disease.
