Abstract
- The peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasms which arises from the peritoneal lining of the abdomen,tending to spread along the peritoneal cavity and to invade abdominal organs. Authors report the CT findings of 4patients with histologically proven peritoneal mesothelioma seen at Dongsan Medical Center, School of Medicine,Keimyung University. None of them had a history of exposure to asbestos and no clear etiologic factor could bedetermined in any patient. CT showed peritoneal and mesenteric thickenings in all cases, omental thickenings in 3cases, peritoneal nodulles, mesenteric masses or omental masses in 2 cases each other, bowel wall involvement in 1case, and disproportionally small ascites in 2 cases. Distant hematogenous metastases to the liver andretroperitoneal lymph nodes were seen in 1 case. Our experience with 4 peritoneal mesotheliomas as well as areview of the recent imaging literature shows excellent correlation between CT and the operitoneoscopic findings.
