	'''Mesothelial Hyperplasia''' is a pathological condition characterized by the excessive growth of [[mesothelial cells]], which line the [[pleura]], [[peritoneum]], [[pericardium]] and [[tunica vaginalis]]. This condition is often benign and can be a response to inflammation or injury. However, it can sometimes be mistaken for [[malignant mesothelioma]], a serious type of cancer that also affects the mesothelial cells.

	== Causes ==		== Causes ==
	Mesothelial hyperplasia is often caused by inflammation or injury to the mesothelium. This can occur due to a variety of factors, including [[surgery]], [[infection]], [[trauma]], or exposure to [[asbestos]]. In some cases, the cause of the hyperplasia is unknown.
