Fascicle 3 of the AFIP Atlas of Tumor Pathology, Fourth Series, by Andrew Churg, Philip T. Cagle and Victor L. Roggli (American Registry of Pathology, 2006). Mostly about mesothelioma, it covers serosal anatomy, cytology, diagnosis, benign versus malignant proliferations, and other serosal lesions including parietal pleural plaques. It cites a proposed relative risk of 1 for chrysotile, 100 for amosite and 500 for crocidolite, and a mean latency of 30 to 40 years. It says asbestos history should play no role in diagnosis.
