Mesothelioma is an uncommon form of cancer, in which cancer (Asbestos) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura) or abdomen (the peritoneum). These cells cover the outer surface of most of our internal body organs (mainly around the outside of the lungs and inside of the ribs (pleura), or around the abdominal organs (peritoneum), forming a lining that is sometimes called the Mesotheli oma. Hence, the name is Mesothelioma.
