title: Giant benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma: US, CT, and MRI findings.
abstract: Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BCPM) is a rare tumor, primarily affecting young women; approximately 130 cases have been described mainly in the pathological and surgical literature. We present imaging findings of a giant BCPM in a male patient and discuss the radiological differential diagnosis with a brief review of the literature.
