In a retrospective study of the incidence of mesothelioma in Scotland for 1950-67 80 cases were traced from pathological reports and biopsy material of malignant tumours invading the pleura and peritoneum. These cases were matched with two sets of controls. Detailed histories of residence, occupation, and degree of exposure to asbestos confirmed that the incidence of mesothelioma in Scotland is similar to that in other parts of Britain.
在一项对1950年至1967年苏格兰间皮瘤发病率的回顾性研究中，从侵袭胸膜和腹膜的恶性肿瘤的病理报告及活检材料中追踪到了80例病例。这些病例与两组对照进行了匹配。关于居住、职业以及石棉接触程度的详细病史证实，苏格兰间皮瘤的发病率与英国其他地区相似。
