Preferred Label : mesothelial neoplasm;
Definition : Neoplasms composed of tissue of the mesothelium, the layer of flat cells, derived
from the mesoderm, which lines the body cavity of the embryo. In the adult it forms
the simple squamous epithelium which covers all true serous membranes (peritoneum,
pericardium, pleura). The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in these organs.
