title: A case of liver metastasis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma successfully treated by surgery.
abstract: We herein report a very rare case of liver metastasis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma occurring in a 47-year-old old woman, who had undergone a right lobectomy of the liver, and is still alive and well more than 2 years after the initial surgery. There is little information on how to successfully treat liver metastasis of this disease. Since mesothelioma cells rarely respond to chemotherapy cr radiation, we conclude that surgery plays an important role in the management of liver metastasis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.
