    Abstract:
    Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) of the peritoneum is a rare form of epithelial mesothelioma. It usually shows an indolent course and no standard treatment is available. Only a few cases of WDPM in the pleural cavity have been reported. We report on a 56-year-old post-menopausal woman who presented with ascites and right pleural effusion. Laparotomy followed by biopsy established the presence of WDPM in the peritoneum and pleural cavity. The patient was successfully treated with local and systemic administration of carboplatin.
