Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis—a rare but devastating peritoneal disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a devastating but, fortunately, rare complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis. The disease is associated with extensive thickening and fibrosis of the peritoneum resulting in the formation of a fibrous cocoon encapsulating the bowel leading to intestinal obstruction. The incidence of EPS ranges between 0.

Peritoneal endometriosis is an inflammatory disease
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012 Peritoneal endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by increased numbers of peritoneal macrophages and their secreted products. Inflammation plays a major role in pain and infertility associated with endometriosis, but is also extensively involved in the molecular processes that lead to peritoneal lesion development.

Endometriotic disease: the role of peritoneal fluid [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1998 Peritoneal fluid and the intraovarian milieu are a specific microenvironment. Peritoneal fluid originates mainly as an ovarian exudation product caused by increased vascular permeability, with cyclic variation in volume and steroid hormones which are always higher than in plasma.

Adult Still's Disease with Myocarditis and Peritonitis.
Internal Medicine, 1992 A 26-year-old woman had myocarditis and peritonitis during an acute multisystem attack of Still's disease. To our knowledge, these complications are rare manifestations of adult Still's disease. Treatment with high-dose adrenocorticosteroids was rapidly successful in controlling these manifestations.

Peritoneal Immunity in Liver Disease
Livers, 2023 The peritoneum represents a confined microenvironment that has an emerging role as a distinct immunological compartment. In health, this niche is mainly populated by a heterogenous group of macrophages and T lymphocytes but also Natural Killer cells and B lymphocytes.

Review of Imaging Peritoneal Disease and Treatment
Canadian Association of Radiologists JournalPeritoneal disease can be classified as either benign or malignant in nature. Malignant peritoneal disease can be further considered as either primary or secondary in origin. Primary peritoneal malignancy includes peritoneal mesothelioma, serous carcinoma, and desmoplastic small round cell tumour.

Time for a “Plan B” in Peritoneal Metastatic Disease [PDF]
Cancer Research, 2019 Abstract Peritoneal involvement in cancer is the harbinger of a particularly unfavorable prognosis. The peritoneal cavity microenvironment is skewed toward immunoregulatory conditions promoted by macrophage populations and innate-like B-1 B cells, which provide immune privilege to malignant cell foci.
