Overview

Mesothelioma must be differentiated from lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, peritoneal tuberculosis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.^[1]

Differentiating Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Differential diagnosis of Pleural Mesothelioma

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
