Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.
An individual may be at risk of developing mesothelioma if he or she was exposed to asbestos in the workplace or at home. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos and the inhalation of asbestos particles. In most cases, symptoms of mesothelioma do not appear in an individual exposed to asbestos until many years after exposure. Those with previous exposure to asbestos history have symptoms should consult a doctor with experience in the specific diagnosis of mesothelioma.
