Abstract

Benign Multicystic Peritoneal Mesothelioma (BMPM) is an exceedingly rare benign abdominal neoplasm with fewer than 200 cases reported worldwide. Owing to its rarity, vague clinical picture, and elusive causes, diagnosis is often delayed or missed. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining are crucial for definitive diagnosis. However, due to lack of substantial literature, the standard of care and future prognosis remain subjects of inquiry. We present a case report of one female patient diagnosed with BMPM and treated with surgical resection.

Keywords: cytoreductive surgery; hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy; mesothelioma; peritoneal cyst.
