Serous and mesothelial proliferations of the extraovarian peritoneum and pelvic lymph nodes.
With rare exceptions, serous proliferations of the peritoneum are limited to women, whereas proliferations of mesothelial differentiation arise predominantly in men. The authors focus on the various types of serous and mesothelial proliferations of the peritoneum and pelvic lymph nodes. Discussion of each type focuses on clinical and morphologic features, histogenesis, differential diagnosis, and clinical outcome.
