Pleural mesotheliomas are rare primary tumors of the pleura. Three groups are classified under the term mesothelioma : 1) benign pleural mesothelioma for which complete surgical treatment is curative with a good prognosis; 2) localized malignant mesothelioma which is a fibrosarcoma, best treated by wide en-bloc resection; 3) diffuse malignant mesothelioma which is mainly of epithelial type. 1, record 4, English, - benign%20pleural%20mesothelioma

Devant le cas de synonymie géographique que posent les termes utilisés pour désigner la maladie professionnelle contractée à la suite d'une exposition aux fibres d'amiante, soit «amiantose» au Québec et «asbestose» en France, on est en droit de penser qu'«amiante» et «asbeste» présentent [...] une parenté notionnelle [...]. [...] le terme amiante entretient avec le terme asbeste une relation de générique à spécifique, le terme «amiante» pouvant s'appliquer à la fois au chrysotile et aux amphiboles. Quant au terme «asbeste», on le réserve aux seules variétés amphiboliques. 6, record 5, French, - amiantose
