Background: In clinical practice, peritoneal dissemination after curative-intent surgery for pleural mesothelioma occasionally recurs. This study investigated the risk factors and prognosis associated with post-pleurectomy/decortication peritoneal dissemination in pleural mesothelioma, which are rarely reported.
Methods: This retrospective review included 160 patients who experienced recurrence after pleurectomy/decortication for pleural mesothelioma between January 2011 and December 2021.

Rationale: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), also known as abdominal cocoon syndrome, is an uncommon condition that typically presents with features of bowel obstruction. EPS followed by cesarean section is extremely rare. Intestinal obstruction caused by EPS lacks specificity and poses clinical difficulties for diagnosis and treatment.

Pleural dissemination of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an extremely rare diagnosis, for which no standard therapy is available. We describe the successful treatment of a 67-year-old male diagnosed with left-sided intrapleural dissemination of PMP (low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm), 2 years after treatment of abdominal PMP with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy. Treatment consisted of extended pleural decortication (ePD) and oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC).

Rationale: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), or abdominal cocoon, is a rare but fatal syndrome characterized by intestinal obstruction owing to adhesions in a diffusely thickened peritoneum. Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) for more than 5 years is commonly associated with EPS, while liver cirrhosis also carries a risk of EPS. However, there have been only a few reports that describe a case of EPS complicated with both cirrhosis and PD.
