Three cases of peritoneal cystic mesothelioma are reported. All patients were women who had undergone previous abdominal surgery for unrelated conditions. Tumors consisted of solitary and multiple cystic masses involving the abdominal and pelvic peritoneum. The cysts focally infiltrated the muscularis externa of the small intestine in case 1, the outer muscular layer of the uterus in case 2, and the omental tissue in case 3. These findings give morphologic support to the borderline clinical behavior of this tumor that often recurs and support the hypothesis that previous surgery may play a role in its pathogenesis.
报告了3例腹膜囊性间皮瘤。所有患者均为女性，之前因无关疾病接受过腹部手术。肿瘤由累及腹盆腔腹膜的单发和多发囊性肿块组成。病例1中囊肿局灶性浸润小肠外肌层，病例2中浸润子宫外层肌层，病例3中浸润网膜组织。这些发现从形态学上支持了该肿瘤常复发的临界临床行为，并支持既往手术可能在其发病机制中起作用的假说。
