Malignant mesothelioma of the serosal surface of the uterus body is very rare and almost invariably malignant. Their diagnosis is made postoperatively in most instances.Various treatments have been described for malignant mesothelioma but effective method is still not known. A case of malignant mesothelioma of the uterus body with post-surgical pelvic persistence is presented. The diagnosis of carcinomatous mesothelioma was made postoperatively by pathologic examination and immunohistochemical reaction of the tumor cells.

Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma(PMPM) is more rare than heart tumor, and the term of mcsothelioma was first used by Adami in 1910, although the lesion was Hrst descripted by Wagner in 1870. Most of 1:le reported 40 cascs have becn diagnosed on autopsy. Antemortem diagnosis are rarely reported with only 40 cases in the world. According to Cohen, its incidence in 500,000 autopsies were 2.2. An analysis of the recent review shows that an antemortem diagnosis was made in only 19~25% of total cases. This report co sist of a case of our experience of PMPM.

Mesothelioma originates in several sites including the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis. The pleura is the most common site of origin, but cases originating in the per- itoneum is relatively rare. Mesothelial lesions of the peritoneum may pose significant diagnostic problems. Yet, the accurate identification of this lesion is important because of its distinctive behavior and treatment modality. We herein report a case of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum arising in the capsule of the liver. The accuracy of our diagnosis has been confirmed by the immunohistochemical study and electron microscopic examination.

The primary malignant tumor of the peritoneum also known as primary peritoneal carcinoma or primary peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma is rare and involves the peritoneum, especially the pelvic peritoneum of female patients. It is difficult to differentiate histologically between papillary mesothelioma, primary ovarian tumor and primary peritoneal carcinoma. We report two cases of the primary peritoneal carcinoma with clinical presentation and histologic characteristics.

Cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum is a rare benign neoplasm that occurs predominantly in young to middle-aged women and tends to recur locally. Pelvic viscera is the most common predilection site of cystic mesothelioma. Authors report a case of multicystic mesothelioma of the pelvic pelvic peritoneum. The pelvic ultrasonography showed a large, confluent, and thin-walled multilocular cystic mass occupying the pelvic cavity and lower abdomen. The cystic mass was flattened and elongated. Each cyst of variable size was separated by thin septa and filled with translucent fluid. Cystic mesothelioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of the cystic peritoneal masses, especially in reproductive-aged women.
