Four mesothelioma cases from a single automotive dealership: A case series.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Four cases of mesothelioma were noted in a workplace of some 110 persons at a tractor dealership between 2006 and 2023. Each worker had a different job title. METHODS: Medical-legal case material was reviewed and abstracted from four cases from the same dealership, all supplied via one law firm. RESULTS: Four mesotheliomas are reported from this single facility that used chrysotile asbestos automotive products. Two of the four cases had no other known exposures to asbestos. DISCUSSION: Automotive products containing chrysotile do appear capable of causing mesothelioma. Job category is not a good surrogate for exposure.
