This report describes a rare case of localized malignant biphasic (mixed epithelioid and sarcomatoid) mesothelioma arising in the peritoneum. A 69-year-old male with a history of asbestos exposure, complaining of a painful mass in the left chest wall, was found via computed tomography (CT) to have a tumor in the left peritoneum. The resected tumor was histologically and immunohistochemically consistent with a malignant mesothelioma with mixed epithelioid and sarcomatoid type and no distant metastasis. The diagnosis of localized malignant biphasic mesothelioma arising in the peritoneum was appropriate because there was no evidence of any other primary tumor.
本报告描述了一例罕见的腹膜局限性恶性双相型（上皮样和肉瘤样混合）间皮瘤。一名 69 岁男性，有石棉接触史，主诉左胸壁疼痛性肿块，经计算机断层扫描（CT）发现左腹膜有肿瘤。切除的肿瘤在组织学和免疫组织化学上均符合上皮样和肉瘤样混合型恶性间皮瘤，无远处转移。诊断为腹膜局限性恶性双相型间皮瘤，因为没有其他原发性肿瘤的证据。
