[Benign cystic mesothelioma with multiple recurrences: a clinical case].
Benign multicystic mesothelioma is a rare disease with a high tendency to local recurrence, but with no tendency to malignancy. The correct diagnosis can be made by histopathological examination in conjunction with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evaluations. A case of benign cystic mesothelioma recurring three times in a 48-year-old woman is reported, and the management of this disease and the importance of radical surgery are discussed.
