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.
Most often, mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the lungs, called the pleura. Mesothelioma is most often diagnosed after a patient sees a doctor because of symptoms such as pain in the lower back, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss, abdominal pain and/or swelling. One form is caused by heart failure and back pressure in the lungs' blood vessels; in another form, direct injury to the lung causes the leak of fluid. 2  Lung cancer has many forms, and may develop in any part of the lungs.
