Pilot Jobs: The Ever Changing Market
If you are looking for work as an airline pilot, you can’t help but notice that the news is constantly filled with information [mostly negative] about the job situation for the industry as a whole. Unfortunately, newsmakers only get part of the story right as the airline industry is alwayssolitary, circumscribed, small, firm mass, generally less than 3cm in diameter. Cut surface shows whorls of dense fibrous tissue. Microscopically, the tumour is predominantly composed ofMesothelioma is an uncommon tumour arising from mesothelial lining of serous cavities, most often in the pleural (covering of lungs) cavity, and rarely in peritoneal (coverings of abdomen) cavity and pericardial (covering of the heart) sac. They are of two types --- benign (solitary) and malignant (diffuse). The biological behavior of the mesothelioma’s can be usually predicted by their gross appearance; thoses forming solitary, discrete masses are generally benign, whereas those, which grow diffusely, are usually malignant.

BENIGN (SOLITARY) MESOTHELIOMA

Benign or solitary mesothelioma is also called pleural fibroma. Asbestos exposure plays no role on the etiology of benign mesothelioma. Grossly it consists of of a solitary, circumscribed, small, firm mass, generally less than 3cm in diameter. Cut surface shows whorls of dense fibrous tissue.

solitary, circumscribed, small, firm mass, generally less than 3cm in diameter. Cut surface shows whorls of dense fibrous tissue. Microscopically, the tumour is predominantly composed of whorls of collagen fibres and reticulin with interspersed fibroblasts. Rarely, mesothelial-lined clefts are seen in the tumour. Benign mesothelioma causes no symptoms and is detected as an incidental radiologic finding. Sometimes the tumour is associated with systemic syndrome of osteoarthropathy or hypoglycemia. Removal of the tumour is generally curative.

MALIGNANT (DIFFUSE) MESOTHELIOMA

Malignant or diffuse mesothelioma is rare. It is a highly malignant tumour associated with high mortality. The tumour is significant in view of its recognized association with occupational exposure to asbestos for a number of years, usually 20-40 years. About 90% of malignant mesothelioma’s are asbestos –related. Mechanism of carci
