“…36 Geographic patterns also may shift following widespread community exposure to asbestos, as occurred in Libby, Montana. 39,40 As observed previously, 16 US mesothelioma incidence rates were highest among older men and women who were probably exposed to asbestos before IARC classified it as a human carcinogen, 41 and before efforts were undertaken to limit exposure. However, our data show that approximately 1% of US mesothelioma cases were diagnosed among men and women aged younger than 35 years (3% younger than 45 years).…”

“…This report updates national and state-specific mesothelioma incidence in the United States on the basis of 40 states and DC (88% of the US population) for 1999-2002 16 with data from all 50 states and DC, providing 100% coverage of the US population for 2003-2008. National estimates of mesothelioma incidence extrapolated from SEER data underestimated the true number of cases.…”

“…[13][14][15] The first nationally representative mesothelioma incidence rates for 1999-2002 were estimated by using data from 40 states and the District of Columbia (DC) (covering 88% of the US population) that were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Program for Cancer Registries (NPCR) and SEER. 16 These data showed that predictive models restricted to SEER data might yield conservative estimates of the number of mesothelioma cases. 16 Cancer surveillance data from NPCR and SEER now provide 100% coverage of the US population for [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008] and are used here to update national and state-specific mesothelioma incidence rates and counts.…”

Mesotheliomas are rare neoplasms of the pleura, peritoneum or pericardium, which are frequently associated with exposure to asbestos. Early diagnosis and establishment of a standard treatment for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is difficult. We report on a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a 53-year-old woman with no history of exposure to asbestos or previous radiotherapy.Keywords: Malignant mesothelioma; Peritoneum; Chemotherapy CASE REPORT Received: 2012.6.18.

Sporadic cases have been reported in Korea. Although, malignant pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma, mesothelioma has also observed in the peritoneum and pericardium. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is observed mainly in older men (median age, 72 years) who have been exposed to asbestos, although it occurs decades after exposure (20 to 40 years later) [2]. Most cases of mesothelioma have been linked to asbestos exposure, however, some reports have suggested that radiotherapy may also be a cause of mesothelioma [3,4]. Reports of malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas in women are rare. The significant variation in incidence may reflect erroneous diagnosis of peritoneal serous carcinomas or well-differentiated papillary mesotheliomas as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Frequency of exposure of asbestos in patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma ranges from 0 to 50% [5]. Malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas are most commonly diagnosed during the fifth to seventh decades of life [6]. We report on a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a 53-year-old woman with no history of exposure to asbestos or previous radiotherapy, along with a brief review of the literature. Case ReportA 53-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital in September 2010, complaining of fever and right flank pain. She was in good health and other than being a housewife, she had no history of employment. Abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) revealed a lobulated contoured heterogeneously enhancing mass, which measured 7.5 × 5.2 × 9.5 cm, in the right subhepatic space and multiple small nodular lesions with fatty infiltration in mesentery and omentum (Fig. 1). 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission ...

Background: Temporal trends and broad geographical distributions of asbestos use and the incidence of malignant mesothelioma (MM) in the US still need to be studied. Methods: Data on asbestos consumption and production between 1900 and 2015 andMM mortality and incidence rates between 1975 and 2015 in the US were examined. Spatial distributions of MM mortality and incidence rates and their association with climate zone were analyzed. Results:Decline of MM incidence and mortality rates in the US occurred about 20 years after the peak of asbestos consumption-production in 1973. There are apparent north-south (N-S) gradients in MM mortality and incidence rates in the US. Conclusion:Recent decline of MM incidence and mortality rates in the US may be associated with reduced US asbestos consumption. N-S MM gradients between 1999 and 2015 were likely related to larger asbestos requirements in building materials in the northern states.
