Pleural Thickening. This condition develops when asbestos fibres are inhaled into the lungs which then damage the lining known as pleura. This lining is comprised of two delicate membranes (the inner and the outher pleurae) which are scratched by these fibres as they pass through on their way into the lungs.

Mesothelioma Pleural Fibroma, Contrary to what we have heard asbestos exposure can cause a wide array of non-cancerous conditions, almost of all fall into the benign pleural tumor (not cancerous) disease category. These tumors affect the pleura, which is like a membrane or thin layer of tissue lining the chest cavity, the pericardium (the lining around the heart), and the peritoneum (the lining around the abdominal cavity).This membrane (pleura) which is filled with a special fluid produced by special cells, is placed between the lungs and the body cavity to enable proper and very softly lung movement during breathing. Most people with these conditions reveal few or none disease symptoms, and only X-Rays and CAT scans could reveal their existence.

Mesothelioma Pleural Fibroma tumors. There are usually two types: benign (solitary) and malign/ant (diffuse). The biological behaviour of the mesothelioma cancer can be usually predicted by their gross appearance – those that form solitary, discrete masses are generally benign, whereas the other type, who grows diffusely, are usually malignant.
