A 1949 Master of Science in Medicine thesis by William Joseph Reals for the Department of Pathology, Creighton University, Omaha, on mesotheliomas of the pericardium, pleura and peritoneum. It reviews the literature and theories of origin. It then reports 12 autopsy cases from 1926-49, the youngest a 19-month-old child. It also describes experiments in which methylcholanthrene in lard was injected into the pleural cavity of C-57 black mice. These produced myoblastomas rather than mesothelioma. The thesis does not mention asbestos.
