Recurrent malignant peritoneal mesothelioma treated by a second resection: A case report

Abstract

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare disease with a very poor prognosis, is seldom treated surgically, especially for recurrence. However, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of primary and recurrent tumors, particularly the localized type of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, can achieve long-term patient survival.
