It is usually a unilateral disease but 3% of patients have malignant disease bilaterally at presentation [2]. The latency period between exposure to asbestos and MPM development is 20–40 years.Radiological evolution of MPM is difficult to infer. Previous pleural effusion or thickening warrants careful follow-up. Some patients don't exhibit abnormalities a few months prior to diagnosis while others carry pleural abnormalities for several years. http://ow.ly/uTGO30mJ8D2 ER -
