Malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas are rare tumors arising from the peritoneal surface. We report a 53 year old, non-asbestos exposed Saudi male who presented with exudative ascites. The diagnosis was obtained from laparoscopic biopsy. To the best of our knowledge this entity has not been described in the Saudi community. The aim is to increase the awareness among the medical community about this rare entity.
恶性腹膜间皮瘤是起源于腹膜表面的罕见肿瘤。我们报告一例53岁未接触石棉的沙特男性,其表现为渗出性腹水。诊断通过腹腔镜活检获得。据我们所知,沙特人群中尚未描述过该疾病。目的是提高医学界对这种罕见疾病的认识。
