“…Others still42 argue that a laparoscopic approach may be used to achieve appropriate surgical treatment in select cases. In addition, treatment with extensive abdominal surgery should be employed with caution when it occurs in young women, where fertility considerations must be part of the discussion of any pelvic surgery 44. Also, when this disease is encountered in children, some authors37,45 recommend a more conservative approach.…”

“…In addition, treatment with extensive abdominal surgery should be employed with caution when it occurs in young women, where fertility considerations must be part of the discussion of any pelvic surgery. 44 Also, when this disease is encountered in children, some authors 37,45 recommend a more conservative approach. Minimizing the extent of surgery and the number of laparotomies may be appropriate when a correct diagnosis of a benign lesion can been made.…”

IntroductionWe report the case of a patient with a benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma and describe its appearance on computed tomography scans and ultrasonography, in correlation with gross clinical and pathological findings.Case presentationA 72-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our emergency department with acute abdomen signs and symptoms. A clinical examination revealed a painful palpable mass in her left abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography demonstrated the presence of a large cystic mass in her left upper abdomen, adjacent to her left hemidiaphragm. The lower border of the mass extended to the upper margin of her pelvis. A complete resection of the lesion was performed. Pathological analysis showed a benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma.ConclusionsBenign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare lesion with a non-specific appearance on imaging. Its diagnosis always requires pathological analysis.

“…At present, the pathogenesis of MM is still unclear, and the nature of the tumor and reactivity have been controversial. [6,9,10] Its pathogenesis may include: chronic stimulation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and previous abdominal surgery, leads to reactive proliferation of mesenchymal cells [6,7,[11][12][13][14][15] ; the disease occurs mostly in young and middle-aged women, so it is speculated that sex hormones are caused by the disease [11] ; genetic factors. [16][17][18][19] Histologically, the mesenchymal cells lining cysts are varied in shape.…”

Rationale: Multicystic Mesothelioma (MM) is very rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult.Patient concerns: We report a case of a 34-year-old man with solid abdominal cystic echo mass. Physical examination showed that the patient had a flat and soft abdomen without tenderness or rebound pain, no fluid wave tremor, and no obvious abdominal mass was touched. The patient complained of repeated abdominal distention with nausea for 5 days. Sonographic examination suspected pseudomyxoma peritoneum.Diagnosis: Conventional ultrasound examination showed a cystic solid echo mass in the right abdominal cavity of the patient, with uneven internal echo and honeycomb change, and clear boundary with surrounding organs. Color Doppler suggested that the blood flow in the mass was not obvious. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed hypodensity foci in hepatic and renal crypts and right paracolic sulcus.Interventions: Laparoscopic resection of the mass was performed, and the postoperative pathological findings were polycystic mesothelioma (greater omentum).Outcomes: After mass resection, all laboratory tests and abdominal ultrasound were normal, and abdominal distension and nausea disappeared.Lessons: Improved ultrasound diagnosis of MM is useful for clinical decision-making.
