Highlights
Multicystic Peritoneal mesothelioma is a distinct type of peritoneal mesothelioma with borderline malignant potential and tendency to recur after tumor debulking.
Morphologically MCPM has grapelike cysts filled with clear fluid and microscopically it has cystic spaces lined by cuboidal epithelium.
There are areas of increased proliferative activity in the background of benign cyst representing potential for aggressiveness.
Peritoneal free floating cysts can be formed from disintegration of main mass and deposit in other areas to form metastatic deposits.
Comprehensive treatment – Complete cytoreduction, involved peritonectomy and HIPEC is required for treatment of macroscopic tumor and microscopic residue.
