Peritoneal Mesothelioma Symptoms

Understanding the Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Peritoneal Mesothelioma Symptoms

Mesothelioma affecting the abdominal cavity lining is known as peritoneal mesothelioma. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include:

  • Stomach pain 
  • Weight loss 
  • Nausea 
  • Vomiting 
  • Swollen belly 
  • Bowel obstruction 
  • Anemia 
  • Fever 
  • Blood clotting abnormalities

The early signs of mesothelioma are often similar to pneumonia with symptoms including chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and a buildup of fluid (shown by a chest x-ray). The most commonly affected lung is the right, occurring approximately 60% of the time, while symptoms in both lungs are rare, occurring 5% of the time. Mesothelioma symptoms are not limited to the above list.
