Overview
Mesothelioma must be differentiated from lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, peritoneal tuberculosis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.[1]
Differentiating Mesothelioma from other Diseases
Differentiating Pleural Mesothelioma from other Diseases
Pleural mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[2][3]
- Pleural effusion
- Benign asbestos-related pleural disease
- Peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma
- Pleural fibrosis from infective/inflammatory source (e.g. actinomycetes, tuberculosis)
- Primary pleural tumors
- Secondary lesions that can involve the pleura
- Pleural metastases
- Thymoma with pleural invasion
- Pericardial tumors with pleural invasion
- Ewing sarcoma of chest wall with pleural invasion
