Article information
El mesotelioma quístico peritoneal benigno es un tumor raro que afecta al peritoneo abdominal y/o pélvico; aunque histopatológicamente es considerado benigno, su alto índice de recurrencias hace que este tumor sea de difícil tratamiento. Su etiología es desconocida, aunque se pueda relacionar con la existencia de cirugía previa. Presentamos 2 casos de mesotelioma quístico peritoneal benigno intervenidos en nuestro hospital; por su rareza y por la alta tasa de recidiva describimos su historia clínica, los métodos diagnósticos aplicados, así como el tratamiento quirúrgico efectuado y su seguimiento, revisando la escasa bibliografía existente

Benign peritoneal cystic mesothelioma is a rare tumor that affects the abdominal and/or pelvic peritoneum. Although histopathological studies demonstrate it to be benign, its high rate of recurrence make it difficult to manage. Its etiology is unknown, although it has been related to the existence of previous surgery. We present two cases of benign peritoneal cystic mesothelioma that were treated surgically in our center. The clinical history, diagnostic methods, surgical treatment and follow-up of this rare lesion are discussed, and the limited available literature is reviewed
