    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare malignancy with nonspecific symptoms.
    • Diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific clinical presentations and initial test results.

    Observation:

    • Eight cases were identified at the University of Missouri Medical Center and affiliated hospitals since 1940.
    • The incidence rate was 0.24 cases per 100,000 patients.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via laparotomy in seven cases and autopsy in one.

    Findings:

    • Benign peritoneal mesothelioma was resectable, with one patient showing positive outcomes at 10 months post-operation.
    • Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma patients had a poor prognosis, averaging a 3-month survival interval.
    • Chemotherapy offered limited benefit, with two patients surviving 3 and 6 months.

    Implications:

    • The study highlights the diagnostic challenges and poor prognosis associated with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.
    • Further research into earlier diagnostic methods and more effective treatments is warranted.
    • This case series provides valuable data on the incidence and outcomes of peritoneal mesothelioma.
