Background:

  • Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare malignancy arising from the peritoneum.
  • Small bowel obstruction is a significant clinical presentation that can be caused by various intra-abdominal pathologies.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction.
  • Diagnostic workup revealed peritoneal mesothelioma as the underlying cause of obstruction.

Findings:

  • Establishing an early diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma can be challenging.
  • The cases highlight the importance of considering rare etiologies for bowel obstruction.
