The well defined but rare entity of benign cystic mesothelioma is reported. The aetiology of this neoplasm remains obscure. The presenting features make a precise preoperative diagnosis difficult; information provided by computed tomography and cytology may help. A firm diagnosis can only come from electron microscopic or immunohistochemical examination of the tumour. Diagnostic accuracy and diligent follow up are essential because, although the tumour is considered benign, it does tend towards local recurrence.
本文报道了明确但罕见的良性囊性间皮瘤病例。该肿瘤的病因仍不清楚。其临床表现使得术前精确诊断困难；计算机断层扫描和细胞学检查提供的信息可能有所帮助。只有通过肿瘤的电子显微镜或免疫组织化学检查才能做出确切诊断。诊断准确性和密切随访至关重要，因为尽管该肿瘤被认为是良性的，但确实有局部复发的倾向。
