Abstract:
To evaluating the imaging features and the pathological basis of low grade malignant cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum (LGMCMP). In 14 cases of LGMCMP, radiographic imaging (X ray, CT, and MRI) was reviewed, and diagnosis was established by pathology. The majority of the patients were middle aged women. The main symptoms were abdominal pain or discomfort. CT and MRI revealed solitary cystic masses in 3 of them, multiple cystic nodules in 5, and diffuse cystic nodules in 6. It is therefore concluded that X ray, CT, and MRI are helpful in revealing the characteristics of LGMCMP and confirm the diagnosis.
