Four cases of benign cystic mesothelioma are described. The disease affects young white women (mean age, 30 years), and they present with chronic pelvic pain. At laparoscopy or laparotomy, multiple cysts ranging in size from 0.5 to 4 cm in diameter and containing clear fluid are seen. The disease commonly affects the pelvic organs and/or omentum. With the electron microscope, the cell of origin of this proliferative process is shown to be the mesothelial cell. The disease has been previously described under a variety of terms. There seems to be a tendency for recurrence, but no malignant potential is apparent. Treatment may be conservative with preservation of pelvic organs. Benign cystic mesothelioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the female genital tract.
本文描述了4例良性囊性间皮瘤。该疾病好发于年轻白人女性（平均年龄30岁），表现为慢性盆腔疼痛。在腹腔镜检查或剖腹手术中，可见多个直径为0.5至4厘米、含有清亮液体的囊肿。该疾病通常累及盆腔器官和/或大网膜。通过电子显微镜观察，显示这种增殖过程的起源细胞是间皮细胞。该疾病以前曾有多种不同的名称。似乎有复发的倾向，但未发现有恶变的可能。治疗可采取保守方法，保留盆腔器官。在女性生殖道囊性病变的鉴别诊断中应考虑到良性囊性间皮瘤。
