Abstract
|
|
|
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare disease associated with mild, nonspecific abdominal symptoms and a wide spectrum of imaging finding. The incidence of this disease entity was reported very rare as two cases per million. The tumor is
derived
from the mesothelial lining of the pleural cavity, the pericadium or the peritoneum and the tunical vaginalis testis. Mesothelioma solely involving the peritoneum are particulary rare. Peritoneal mesothelioma is usually
a rapidly growing peritoneal surface malignancy with a median survival of less than 1 year, which has very fatal clinical course. Reported patterns of involvement include diffuse thickening or nodularity of the peritoneum, peritoneal or omental
mass,
thickened mesentery and serosal ligament, local invasion of adjacent abdominal organs, ascites. We report a case of a malignant intraperitoneal mesothelioma with a review of literature.
