Malignant
Mesothelioma in an Electrical Worker
Suhail N, Suraj K.P, Remeshchandra Babu KM, Ravindran C
Abstract:
Malignant
Mesothelioma is the most common primary malignant tumour of the
pleura. 70% cases of pleural mesothelioma are associated with asbestos
exposure. Analysis of occupation recorded on death certificates
indicate that building workers (Plumbers and Gas fitters), carpenters
and electricians are the largest high-risk groups. Typically they
present as insidious onset of nonpleuritic chest pain, dyspnoea and
cough. The chest film invariably reveals a unilateral pleural
effusion. A case of malignant mesothelioma in a 43-year-old male
electrical wiring worker, who is a known case of polycystic kidney
disease, is reported here due to its rarity.
