“…The most frequent presenting symptoms of BMPM are abdominal mass or distention, sometimes with pain or occasionally as an incidental finding (3–6,9–12) . Ascites was occasionally reported when the cystic mass clumped together and formed adhesion (13) .…”

“…BMPM is rarely diagnosed preoperatively because of other more common pelvic lesions such as ovarian tumors. Generally, imaging studies such as ultrasonography, computerized tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging show the anechoic, low‐density, or hypointense cystic nature of the mass, respectively (6,12,14) . Foci of calcification have been reported (14) .…”

We report on benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma in two siblings whose family had a history of multiple familial diseases including diverticulosis. After a genetic evaluation and a chromosomal analysis, we were not able to identify a specific genetic cause of the family's pattern of disease. We assumed that previous surgical procedures and the chronic inflammatory process from diverticulitis were the underlying etiology. Both patients had multiple recurrences with indolent courses similar to those reported in other cases. After the recurrences, one patient was treated with cystic aspiration and the other with hormones. The cysts in both cases regressed partially but the patients were relieved of their clinical symptoms, for 2 years after cystic drainage in one case and for 5 years after hormonal treatment in the other.

Benign cystic mesothelioma (BCM) is a rare tumor of unknown origin, most frequently encountered in women of reproductive age and with unknown etiology. Most patients have a history of previous pelvic operation, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. We report the cases of three patients, with one case complicated by pregnancy, and discuss the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of this rare disease. Complete surgical resection is recommended if feasible. However, recurrent disease is not uncommon. Clinical positive effects of different adjuvant medical treatments are also discussed.
