Abstract
A rare presentation of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a 22-year-old man
Highlights
Primary peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive malignancy that arises from mesothelial cells in the peritoneum
The patient was diagnosed with primary peritoneal mesothelioma with metastatic disease presenting as recurrent ascites
His condition was explained in detail, including his prognosis and limited treatment options due to the fact that there were no standard National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines nor staging for primary peritoneal mesothelioma
Summary
Further research into possible risk factors and exposures that cause MPM, as well as forming standardized treatment is needed to improve prognosis and management of these patients.
