Bone and cartilage occurred in mixed and sarcomatoid mesotheliomas which were induced by intraperitoneal injection of various types of asbestos fibres (asbestos cement, crocidolite, UICC-amosite, UICC- chrysotile B, Calidria-chrysotile). Bone or cartilage were found in 32.7% of mixed mesothelioma and in 12.8% of sarcomatoid mesotheliomas.enabdominal cavityasbestosatypical malignant mesotheliomascartilaginous differentiationmineral fibreneoplasmsosseous differentiationpathologyrattoxicologytumor615610620journal article
