Benign Cystic Mesothelioma in a Girl

Abstract

Benign cystic mesothelioma (BCM) is an uncommon tumor. A 9-year-old girl presented with acute abdominal pain and vomiting for the last 24 hours. Ultrasound abdomen and contrast enhanced CT scan were suggestive of cystic lesion. At laparotomy, a cystic mass arising from the peritoneum was found, which was excised completely. On histopathological examination it was diagnosed as benign mesothelioma.
