concurring.
I concur in the result. The plaintiff-appellant in this case showed that he had sustained an asymptomatic pleural thickening, but he was unable to show any loss or damages resulting from that condition. Under decisions in Marinari v. Asbestos Corp. Ltd., 417 Pa.Super. 440, 612 A.2d 1021 (1992), Ottavio v. Fibreboard Corp., 421 Pa.Super. 284, 617 A.2d 1296 *346(1992), and Altieri v. Fibreboard Corp., 421 Pa.Super. 297, 617 A.2d 1302 (1992), he was not entitled to recover damages because of a fear or risk that he might at some time in the future contract cancer. Therefore, the trial court could properly set aside the jury’s award of damages and enter judgment n.o.v. in favor of the defendant-appellees.1
I would leave for another day whether under different circumstances recovery should be allowed for other damages, if any, flowing from asymptomatic pleural thickening.
. In view of the decision in Marinari v. Asbestos Corp., Ltd., supra, it may have been more correct to enter judgment n.o.v. in favor of the plaintiff-appellant for nominal damages of one ($1.00) dollar. ;
