BENIGN MULTICYSTIC PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA-A RARE CASE REPORT

NAVEETH SHUKKUR

Abstract


Abstract : The well defined but rare entity of benign cystic
mesothelioma is reported. The aetiology of this neoplasm
remains obscure. The presenting features make a precise
preoperative diagnosis difficult information provided by computed
tomography and cytology may help. A firm diagnosis
can only come from electron microscopic or immuno histochemical
examination of the tumour.Diagnostic accuracy and
diligent follow up are essential because, although the tumour
is considered benign, it does tend towards local recurrence.
