The peritoneum is a much neglected area, with relatively little pathology. It includes the omentum which is dealt with in the omentum article.

Benign

Peritoneal implants

Main article: Peritoneal implants
  • These are dealt with in the ovarian tumours article. Broadly speaking they may be: (1) desmoplastic non-invasive, (2) epithelial non-invasive, and (3) invasive.

Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma

Should not be confused with malignant mesothelioma or benign multicystic mesothelioma.
  • AKA benign papillary mesothelioma.
Main article: Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma

Peritoneal inclusion cyst

Main article: Peritoneal inclusion cyst

Malignant

Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma

General

  • Very rare.
  • Reported in men.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
  • To exclude ovarian serous carcinoma all of the following criteria must be met:[3]
    1. Histology of the tumour = serous carcinoma.
    2. Bulk of the tumour involves the peritoneum.
    3. Ovarian substance tumour extent less than 5 x 5 mm in plane of section.
    4. Previous ovarian serous carcinoma is excluded.
      • Old oopherectomies reviewed if possible.

Should have comment something like: 

High-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary/fallopian tube/periteonum is associated 
with BRCA1/2 mutation in approximately 20% of patients. Referral to genetic 
counseling is recommended.

Malignant mesothelioma

Main article: Malignant mesothelioma

This is like the tumour found in the pleural cavity.

Peritoneal metastasis

  • AKA metastatic peritoneal disease.
Main article: Metastasis

General

Common causes:

Note:

Microscopic

See metastasis.
