We report herein what to our knowledge is the first documented case of malignant mesothelioma arising from the falciform ligament. A 65-year-old woman was admitted to our department for the evaluation of an epigastric mass. An abdominal computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and celiac angiogram showed a tumor originating in the falciform ligament. The tumor was subsequently resected, and pathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma originating in the falciform ligament. A metastatic liver tumor was detected 3 years after this operation and a partial liver resection was performed. She is currently off therapy, and no clinical or radiologic evidence of disease has been found for 1 year since her second operation.
据我们所知，我们在此报告首例有记录的起源于镰状韧带的恶性间皮瘤病例。一名65岁女性因上腹部肿块入院接受评估。腹部计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和腹腔血管造影显示肿瘤起源于镰状韧带。随后切除了肿瘤，病理检查证实为起源于镰状韧带的恶性间皮瘤。该手术后3年检测到肝转移瘤，并进行了部分肝切除术。她目前已停止治疗，自第二次手术后1年来未发现疾病的临床或影像学证据。
