Pleural mesothelioma, which affects the tissue that surrounds the lungs, causes signs and symptoms that may include: 1  Chest pain under the rib cage. 2  Painful coughing. 3  Shortness of breath.  Unusual lumps of tissue under the skin on your chest.
Patients with mesothelioma generally do not demonstrate symptoms of this disease until 20 to 50 years after their initial exposure to asbestos. Fibers that embed in the tissue surrounding the bodyâs internal organs, the mesothelium, usually must be present for many decades before cancer develops.
