Definition
English
:
A peritoneal
mesothelioma
affecting mainly young females and producing
cysts
of variable size and number lined by a single layer of benign mesothelial
cells
. The
disease
follows a benign course and is compatible with a normal
life expectancy
, requiring occasionally partial excision or
decompression
for relief of
pain
or other
symptoms
. Malignant potential is exceptional. (From Holland et al., Cancer
Medicine
, 3d ed, p1345)
