Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2002
Peritoneal mesothelioma is usually a rapidly fatal primary peritoneal surface malignancy with a median survival time of less than 1 year, mainly because of lack of effective treatment. The incidence is approximately one per 1,000,000; approximately one fifth to one third of all mesotheliomas are peritoneal.

Clinical Radiology, 1980
The clinical and radiological features of peritoneal mesothelioma in four patients with an industrial history of asbestos exposure are described. The radiological features of intestinal obstruction, soft tissue masses and displacement and infiltration of bowel are stressed. A normal chest radiograph does not exclude the diagnosis.

Human Pathology, 1977
The cytohistology in 82 cases diagnosed as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma was correlated with available clinical and gross pathologic information. The cases were then evaluated as to ceratainty of diagnosis. The material had come from a large number of sources, most of it having been traced by a history of occupational exposure to asbestos.

Congenital peritoneal mesothelioma
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1983Only three primary peritoneal mesotheliomas in children have been previously reported. We describe a 6-wk-old girl with a papillary peritoneal mesothelioma of low grade malignancy. This is probably a congenital mesothelioma and is the youngest patient reported to date.

Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Tumori Journal, 1982Eight cases of peritoneal malignant mesothelioma observed at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milan from 1972 to 1978 are reported. The clinical features of the cases clearly point out the diagnostic difficulties, the inadequacy of the treatment and the poor prognosis of this neoplasia. The authors maintain that more complete epidemiologic studies and

Archives of Surgery, 1988
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm often related to previous asbestos exposure. In 14 cases the diagnosis before surgery was virtually impossible, as patients presented with vague abdominal complaints and nonspecific physical examination findings. Laboratory testing (including computed tomography) was of no added diagnostic help.
