In this study we demonstrate the usefulness of laparoscopy on the diagnosis of some unusual causes of ascites, such as primary mesothelioma, usually overlooked by other diagnostic modalities, like ultrasound, computed tomography and cytology of the ascitic fluid. We describe three cases of primary peritoneal mesothelioma among 27 patients with exudative ascites submitted to laparoscopy at our institution during the past two years. The final diagnosis inaccessible to the conventional diagnostic modalities, was reached only by laparoscopy.
在本研究中，我们证明了腹腔镜检查在诊断某些不常见的腹水病因方面的有用性，例如原发性间皮瘤，而这种病因通常会被其他诊断方法（如超声、计算机断层扫描和腹水细胞学检查）所忽视。我们描述了过去两年间在我们机构接受腹腔镜检查的27例渗出性腹水患者中的3例原发性腹膜间皮瘤病例。常规诊断方法无法得出最终诊断，只有通过腹腔镜检查才能确诊。
