title: Imaging appearance of benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) is a rare entity with fewer than 150 reported cases in the literature. Here we discuss a case of BMPM in a 22-year old female as presented to our urban community hospital, review epidemiology and clinical presentations of this entity, and perform a comprehensive literature review of various CT, US, and MR imaging features of BMPM.
