AI Article Synopsis

  • Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare tumor primarily affecting women of reproductive age.
  • It involves the development of multiple thin-walled cysts, which can create large masses in the abdomen.
  • Due to limited follow-up studies and varying possible causes reported, it's challenging to establish conclusive information about the condition.

Article Abstract

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare tumor that occurs mainly in women in their reproductive age. It is characterized by the formation of multiple, thin-walled, multilocular cysts that frequently produce large, intra-abdominal masses. The short follow-ups and possible etiologies based on the published reports make it difficult to draw any firm conclusions.

It is a condition associated with a range of reported clinical outcomes and can be misdiagnosed as a molar or partial molar pregnancy given the similarities in clinical presentation. We present an unusual case of PMD complicated by fetal growth restriction and oligohydramnios in the second trimester.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare, benign, yet locally aggressive lesions that contain blood-filled channels that rarely occur in the thoracic spine of adults. The literature on the treatment of spinal ABCs is sparse, but the consensus is to achieve gross-total resection (GTR) due to these lesions being locally aggressive and to prevent recurrence.

Observations: This report describes a 35-year-old female admitted with back pain and right T5 dermatome radiculopathy without any inciting events.
