Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm of peritoneum, found mainly in women of reproductive age, and usually misdiagnosed as an ovarian mass. A 46-year-old woman was clinically suspected of having an adnexal mass. Peritoneal mesothelioma was diagnosed and successfully removed at laparoscopy. Laparoscopy allows differentiation from ovarian serous tumors and treatment of the lesions. Long follow-up is recommended because of the tendency to recur.
