[Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma: its evolution and outlook].
Mesotheliomas are mesenchymal neoplasms which originate in the lining membrane of various serous cavities: pleural, pericardial and peritoneal. Peritoneal mesotheliomas are extremely rare. They are usually seen to middle to old age, predominate in men. We report a case and show the most recent concepts about histology, pathology, diagnosis and medical-surgical therapy of these diseases.
