Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in two pediatric patients: MR imaging findings

Pediatr Radiol. 2000 Apr;30(4):251-5. doi: 10.1007/s002470050732.

Abstract

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumor in childhood. We present two cases of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in which contrast-enhanced, fat-saturated magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used advantageously to detect peritoneal tumor involvement.
