The peritoneum is a much neglected area, with relatively little pathology. It includes the omentum which is dealt with in the omentum article.
Benign
Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma
- Should not be confused with malignant mesothelioma or benign multicystic mesothelioma.
- AKA benign papillary mesothelioma.
General
Gross
Features - typical:
- Multiple peritoneal nodules.
- Ascites.
DDx:[1]
- Tuberculosis.
- Carcinomatosis.
- Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma.
Microscopic
Features:
- Papillary structures with:
- Thick fibrous cores.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium.
- Small nucleoli.
Note:
- Lack cytologic atypia.
Image:
Benign multicystic mesothelioma
- Should not be confused with malignant mesothelioma.
- AKA peritoneal inclusion cyst.[3]
- AKA inflammatory cyst of the peritoneum.
- AKA mesothelial inclusion cyst. (???)
General
- Usually conservative management.
- Serum CA-125 usually low.
- May occur in men.[4]
Microscopic
- Thin-walled, irregular-shaped, cysts - unicystic or multicystic.
- Mesothelial lining.
- Eosinophilic fluid.
Image:
Malignant
Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma
General
- Very rare.
- Reported in men.[6]
Microscopic
Features:
- Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
- To exclude ovarian serous carcinoma all of the following criteria must be met:[7]
- Histology of the tumour = serous carcinoma.
- Bulk of the tumour involves the peritoneum.
- Ovarian substance tumour extent less than 5 x 5 mm in plane of section.
- Previous ovarian serous carcinoma is excluded.
- Old oopherectomies reviewed if possible.
DDx:
- Ovarian serous carcinoma.
- Other serous carcinomas - see serous carcinoma.
- Malignant mesothelioma.
IHC
- Like serous carcinoma elsewhere - see ovarian serous carcinoma.
