The etiopathogenic role of asbestos in causing malignant mesothelioma of the pleura is clearly supported by an impressive amount of data. Despite the frequent association with previous exposure to asbestos, only a relatively small fraction of those exposed develop malignant mesothelioma. The long latency period between initial exposure and onset of the tumor suggests that human mesothelioma, like many other tumors, has a multi-stage evolution with the occurrence of many mutating events involving various tumorigenic agents, probably in part initiating and in part promoting development. Recently this has raised great interest in the scientific world, in an attempt to identify possible factors which together with asbestos may have a role in developing this rare malignant tumor. Ionizing radiations and genetic susceptibility have occasionally been identified as the culprits. A virus called SV40 has been gaining increasing scientific credibility since the mid 1990's as a potential co-carcinogen of asbestos.
