[Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma: its relation to asbestos].

Chronic exposure to asbestos can induce malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (PMM) without pulmonary or pleural involvement (PIMM). The localization to the peritoneum depends on the different susceptibility of the two mesotheliums and, perhaps, on the length of asbestos fibers which can facilitate their direct translocation.

We emphasize the value of vitamin E as an antioxidant agent supplied by suitable diets in middle age and by cheap tablets in the aged.
