While diffuse neoplasms have an unfavorable prognosis, cystic forms are usually benign. An accurate diagnosis can only be made only with electron microscopy and immunohistochemical studies. A 92-year-old woman with an ultrastructurally ascertained cystic peritoneal mesothelioma was admitted to the hospital's emergency ward, and was considered to be unusual because of the size of the mass and the patient's age. A review of the literature is made, and the clinical and diagnostic aspects of this disease are also discussed.: Springer-Verlag Tokyo, 2000 Key Words: peritoneal neoplasm, cystic peritoneal mesothelioma nationallicence De Toma Giorgio First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut Nicolanti Virgilio First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut Plocco Maurizio First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut Cavallaro Giuseppe First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut Amato Daniela First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut Letizia Claudio Second Department of Medicine, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00010058 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00010058 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- De Toma Giorgio First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Nicolanti Virgilio First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Plocco Maurizio First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Cavallaro Giuseppe First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Amato Daniela First Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Letizia Claudio Second Department of Medicine, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy, IT aut Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
