Mesothelioma is a relatively rare cancer, who's course is dynamic and leads to cahexia and patient death. The relationship has been proven between its incidence and exposition to asbestos. We presented six cases of mesothelioma in patients without professional risk, which were hospitalized in the internal sections of Pulmonological wards. Unfortunately, administered treatment did not bring expected results.
