Abstract
Malignant mesothelioma presenting in the pleura and peritoneum is described in a middle‐aged man. The patient lacked significant asbestos exposure which is not unexpected from both the clinical literature and animal inhalation tumor data. Computerized axial tomographic correlation is provided. Partial remission was achieved with the administration of adriamycin and DTIC.Keywords
