Mesotheliomas are rare tumors arising from serosal linings of the major serous cavities. Five patients with peritoneal mesothelioma underwent a double contrast barium enema (DCBE) and ultrasonography (US) (2 patients), computed tomography (CT) (3 patients) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (3 patients). The diagnosis was confirmed at laparotomy. The radiologic pattern at DCBE is unspecific and consists of compression and dislocation of bowel loops by extrinsic masses. Mesenteric retraction and segmental stenosis may be present. In one patient DCBE was normal. US, CT and MRI findings are also unspecific but when combined with information obtained from DCBE the site and abdominal extension of the disease are well defined.
间皮瘤是起源于主要浆膜腔浆膜衬里的罕见肿瘤。5例腹膜间皮瘤患者接受了双重对比钡灌肠（DCBE）和超声检查（US）（2例患者）、计算机断层扫描（CT）（3例患者）和/或磁共振成像（MRI）（3例患者）。诊断在剖腹手术时得到证实。DCBE的影像学表现不具特异性，表现为外在肿块对肠袢的压迫和移位。可能存在肠系膜退缩和节段性狭窄。1例患者的DCBE结果正常。US、CT和MRI的表现也不具特异性，但与DCBE获得的信息相结合时，疾病的部位和腹部范围可得到明确界定。
