870 Benign Cystic Mesothelioma- a Rare Intra-Abdominal Tumour

Abstract Introduction Benign cystic mesothelioma is a rare intra-abdominal tumour affects primarily women who are in reproductive. Since this pathology has a rare occurrence, a similar presentation, and similar imaging features, the diagnosis is based on histologic findings and there is no current standard treatment for this condition. Presentation of case In this case report, a 40-year-old female patient presented in the Emergency Department with a five-day history of right-sided, migratory, abdominal pain. She was systemically well, and her inflammatory markers were unremarkable. The patient was investigated for appendicitis, with a CT scan showing a multi-loculated cystic structure below the liver. Her case was discussed with the Basingstoke Peritoneal Malignancy Institute who felt this may demonstrate benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma. As per their advice, and the thoughts of the local MDT team, the patient underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, and the cystic mass was removed. The diagnosis of benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma was then confirmed by histology. Discussion Based on literature, this is a rare and asymptomatic form of mesothelioma.Imaging is able to provide suspicion of this type of benign mesothelium, but only histological examination can provide a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, on review there are no guidelines regarding management and no standard treatment for this condition. The only effective treatment for a benign cystic mesothelioma is surgery, but no evidence-based strategies exist. Conclusions It is critical to publish more case reports on this condition once it is diagnosed in order to formulate guidelines and to advance towards a possible effective treatment solution.

Benign cystic Mesothelioma of Peritoneum: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BCPM) is an uncommon clinical condition with diverse presentations. Its abstruse pathogenesis and association with diverse intra- abdominal conditions make an explicit diagnosis arduous. Diagnostic veracity and conscientious followup are essential because, though benign nature, it recurs locally with potentials for malignant transformation. Hence a definitive diagnostic and surgical strategy needs to be formulated.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2014; Vol. 29(2) : 120-122

Benign Cystic Peritoneal Mesothelioma Revealed by Small Bowel Obstruction.

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare tumor which frequently occurs in women of reproductive age. Abdominal pain associated with pelvic or abdominal mass is the common clinical presentation. We report the case of a 22-year-old woman with a pathological proved benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum revealed by a small bowel obstruction and a painful left-sided pelvic mass with signs of psoitis. Contrast enhanced abdominal CT-scan demonstrated a large pelvic cystic mass with mass effect on rectosigmoid and pelvic organs. The patient underwent surgical removal of the tumor. Pathological examination revealed the diagnosis of benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum. The outcome was excellent with a 12-month recoil.

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma: an abdominal daze

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BCPM) is a rare clinical entity with varied presentations. Its obscure etiology and association with various intraabdominal conditions makes a precise diagnosis difficult. Diagnostic accuracy and diligent follow-up are essential because, though benign nature, it recurs locally. Herewith reporting a case of BCPM presenting as acute abdomen.

Giant peritoneal inclusion cyst mimicking ovarian cyst

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma also known as peritoneal inclusion cyst is a rare lesion that usually occurs in women of reproductive age. Giant peritoneal inclusion cysts are extremely rare and to the best of our knowledge only has been reported in man to date. Hereby, a case of a 45-year-old multiparous patient with a giant peritoneal inclusion cyst that mimicks an ovarian cyst is presented. The patient with a complaint of abdominal distention sought out to our outpatient clinic. In her medical history she has had neither prior surgery nor pelvic infection. Physical examination revealed a giant smooth surfaced pelvic mass originating from the left adnexal space. Ultrasonography and computed tomography images supported the pelvic examination. The patient underwent diagnostic laparatomy and frozen section analysis. Histopathological diagnosis revealed a peritoneal inclusion cyst with endometriotic focus. After one year from surgery, the patient has had no recurrences. Although giant masses of pre-menopausal women are usually malignant, clinicians may encounter with rare benign tumors such as peritoneal inclusion cysts and should be aware of them in the differential diagnosis.

Laparoscopic excision of a benign peritoneal cystic mesothelioma

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare tumor and most commonly occurs in women in the reproductive age group. It is very rare in women of postmenopausal age. We present a rare case of a postmenopausal woman with benign peritoneal cystic mesothelioma removed at laparoscopy.

Imaging benign peritoneal disease

•. Benign diseases of the peritoneum and its reflections may be either diffuse processes or more discrete lesions; the latter may be solid or cystic. •. Diffuse processes, such as infection or inflammation, produce ascites and mesenteric oedema. The clinical presentation and the site of origin of the abnormality may aid diagnosis. •. Discrete solid lesions include sclerosing mesenteritis, mesenteric desmoid tumour, plexiform neurofibromatosis and lipoma. •. Discrete cystic lesions include congenital cysts, such as lymphangioma, duplication, and enteric and mesothelial cysts, but also benign cystic tumours such as cystic teratoma and benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma. •. Cross‐sectional imaging has an important role in percutaneous abscess drainage and guiding biopsy of solid lesions.

Peritoneal Benign Cystic Mesothelioma

A case of a benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma is reported. A 25-year-old woman presented a 8-year history of recurrent tumor and five operations because of that. On the basis of this case and of 18 cases proved by electron microscopy reported by others, the clinicopathological features and the problems of differential diagnosis are discussed. The ultrastructural examination is essential for the diagnosis of cystic mesothelioma.
