Overview
Mesothelioma must be differentiated from lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, peritoneal tuberculosis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.[1]
Differentiating Mesothelioma from other Diseases
Mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[2]
- Pleural effusion ]
- Benign asbestos related pleural disease
- Pleural metastases
- Peripheral bronchogenic carcinoma
- Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura
- Pleural fibrosis from infective/inflammatory source (e.g. actinomyctes, tuberculosis)
- Colorectal Cancer
- Peritoneal tuberculosis
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Other causes of heart failure
