The peritoneum is a much neglected area, with relatively little pathology. It includes the omentum which is dealt with in the omentum article.

Benign

Benign multicystic mesothelioma

Should not be confused with malignant mesothelioma.

General

  • Usually conservative management.
  • Serum CA-125 usually low.
  • May occur in men.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[1][3]

  • Thin-walled, irregular-shaped, cysts - unicystic or multicystic.
    • Mesothelial lining.
    • Eosinophilic fluid.

Malignant

Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma

General

  • Very rare.
  • Reported in men.[4]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
  • To exclude ovarian serous carcinoma all of the following criteria must be met:[5]
    1. Histology of the tumour = serous carcinoma.
    2. Bulk of the tumour involves the peritoneum.
    3. Ovarian substance tumour extent less than 5 x 5 mm in plane of section.
    4. Previous ovarian serous carcinoma is excluded.
      • Old oopherectomies reviewed if possible.
