[Solitary fibrous mesothelioma of the peritoneum. Considerations of a clinical case in our observation].
The authors report a case of so-called solitary fibrous peritoneal mesothelioma which was successfully operated on. Their case is compared with the few cases reported in the literature. Analysis of findings shows the fibrous peritoneal mesothelioma to be a solitary well defined tumor, generally of considerable size at the time of the diagnosis, very similar to the fibrous metothelioma of the pleura. It is believed to originate in the sub-mesothelial connective tissue. Surgery provides a definitive cure.
