Benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum: A rare case and review of the literature

Abstract

A 19-year-old male presented with right lower quadrant pain. Imaging studies revealed a cystic peritoneal mass. At surgery, a large peritoneal mass was excised. The pathology report revealed a benign cystic mesothelioma, and a right hemicolectomy with cytoreductive surgery was completed. © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel.
