This comprehensive yet practical text reviews the pathology of neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions of the pleura and peritoneum, with a particular focus on mesothelioma. The anatomy and embryology of serous membranes are discussed, and the causes, epidemiology, and clinical and radiologic features of malignant mesothelioma are reviewed. A comprehensive review of immunostains used for diagnosing serous membrane lesions is given, current treatment options for patients are outlined. The markers of asbestos exposure and their significance are also assessed. The pathology of non-neoplastic conditions of serous membranes, from peritoneal cysts and endometriosis to deciduosis and gliomatosis peritonei are also covered, as are lymphomas and soft tissue tumors in serous membranes. This makes Practical Pathology of Serous Membranes an essential resource for effective diagnosis.

Since the 4th Series of this Fascicle was published, there have been considerable advances in our understanding of tumors within the serosal membranes, in particular the classification of mesothelial tumors and their genetics. This 5th Series Fascicle aligns with the terminology recommended by the WHO in its most recent edition for pleural and pericardial tumors, with expansion to reflect serosal membranes at other sites and including recognition of mesothelioma in situ.
