  • Title: [Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum. Rare, but prognostically important differential diagnosis].
    Author: Lammer F, Scherrer C, Häcki WH.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1991 Jun 22; 121(25):954-6. PubMed ID: 1862312.
    Abstract:
    A 35-year-old man who presented with ascites and multiple small peritoneal nodules is still in good health after a follow-up of 6 years despite the fact that two different former histologic sections were interpreted as malignant mesothelioma. The present histologic finding is a well differentiated papillary mesothelioma. We review the literature and discuss the significance of this uncommon finding. It is generally associated with an excellent prognosis. Chemotherapy should be withheld.
