Abstract:
Objective To summarize our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma(MPM). Methods Clinical data of 10 patients admitted with MPM were analyzed retrospectively. Results The main symptoms of MPM were intraabdominal mass and abdominal pain in these patients; Seven patients were of localized type, 3 cases were of diffused type; Preoperatively 7 cases were misdiagnosed as other intraperitoneal tumor, 9 patients underwent laparotomy and tumor resection for a total 16 times, including once in 4 cases, two times in 3 cases, and three times in 2 cases. Seven patients received curative resection in initial operation. Five patients died within one year, 6 cases within two years, Tumors recurred postoperatively in 4 cases. 1 case is still survival 9 years after. Conclusion Being comparatively rare, MPM is often misdiagnosed, the prognosis is very poor, curative resection sometimes provides a long survival for localized type of MPM, when combined with perioperative comprehensive therapy.
