Localized malignant mesothelioma is rare. It has a histological pattern identical to diffuse malignant mesothelioma but without diffuse serosal spread. Localized malignant mesothelioma typically originates from the pleura, peritoneum or pericardium, but can occasionally develop from organs. Our cases represent what might be the largest mediastinal localized malignant mesothelioma described and the first presentation of the epithelioid type in the stomach of an adult.
局限性恶性间皮瘤较为罕见。它具有与弥漫性恶性间皮瘤相同的组织学模式,但没有弥漫性浆膜扩散。局限性恶性间皮瘤通常起源于胸膜、腹膜或心包,但偶尔也可源自其他器官。我们的病例代表了目前描述的最大纵隔局限性恶性间皮瘤,并首次在成人胃中出现上皮样型。
