The only known cause for mesothelioma in the United States is a history of exposure to asbestos. When the asbestos fibers are breathed in, they travel into the nooks and crannies of the pleura where they irritate and can cause physical damage to the mesothelial cells that may result in mesothelioma cancer. The fibers can also cause damage that can result in lung cancer and asbestosis (excessive scarring of tissue on the lungs). If swallowed, the fibers can reach the abdominal cavity where they can cause peritoneal mesothelioma.

Malignant mesothelioma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lining of the chest or abdomen. <---That sentence was copied and pasted from WebMD.
WebMD has a couple of articles on it.

Mesothelioma is cancer of the lining of the mesotheliam, a lining the most of the bodies internal organs are in or the pleura.

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer characterised by the development of malignant cells in the mesothelium (the protective lining of organs). A vast majority of cases see mesothelioma develop in the outer lining of the lungs. Mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos (a naturally occurring substance which use to be used in insulation and cement) fibers which have been inhaled (although you can also absorb asbestos other ways). Mesothelioma does not develop immediately after exposure but has a 20-30 year latency stage where the cancer does not grow and the person suffers no symptoms.

its a cancer that you get when you are exposed or over exposed to asbestos. Don't you ever see the commercials on tv of all of the questions about if you have known someone who has died or is suffering from asbestos exposure? hehe
