Abstract

Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that is associated with multiple diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Therapeutic guidelines are scarce and based on extrapolative data. Histopathological diagnosis is difficult as neither the morphological finding nor the immunohistochemical stains are specific. The mainstay treatment for resectable disease is cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy being a valuable addition. Treatment of non-resectable cases includes platinum-based chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and bevacizumab. We present a case of a 49-year-old woman suffering from inoperable peritoneal mesothelioma, which was initially diagnosed as ovarian cancer and treated accordingly.
