Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma presenting with persistent high fever.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare tumor that develops in the peritoneum. In this paper, we describe an extremely rare case of MPM metastasizing to the appendix in a 48-year-old female who initially presented with a persistent high fever. The woman reported a slight lower abdominal discomfort which had been relieved by urination for four months.

Infective endocarditis is occurring more and more frequently in elderly persons and it has been associated with various clinical, bacteriological, and prognostic features. We present a 63-year-old woman with infective endocarditis which is the first reported case with cerebral hemorrhage, splenic and renal embolisms.
