title: Multiple, large, benign peritoneal cysts--a case report.
abstract: This case report describes a unique case of large (up to 17 cm!) peritoneal cysts of uncertain aetiology. It illustrates the diagnostic and management difficulties encountered with such a rare problem. Although subsequently proven to be benign, they were thought to represent an extreme form of endosalpingiosis after a literature review.
