Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMCPM) is a rare disease. It is described histologically as benign, but its tendency to recur after resection does not permit a truly benign classification. The differential diagnosis with other semi-solid, cystic adnexial and intra-abdominal tumors is difficult. A case of a BMCPM is presented and examination findings, diagnosis and treatment approaches are reviewed according to the literature.
