Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant and multicystic peritoneal mesotheliomas are extremely rare tumors in children, developing from mesothelial cells. No specific guidelines are available at this age. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all identified children (< 18-year-old) treated in France from 1987 to 2017 for a diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) or a multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (MCPM). RESULTS Fourteen patients (5 males and nine females), aged 2.2 to 17.5 years, were included. The most frequent presenting symptoms were abdominal pain, ascitis, and alteration in the general condition. Eight patients had epithelioid mesothelioma, three had biphasic mesothelioma, and three had MCPM. Eight patients with DMPM diagnosis received cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Among them, six patients had neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy, one patient, post-operative chemotherapy, and one patient CRS and HIPEC only. Three patients received only systemic chemotherapy. All patients with MCPM had only surgery. After a median follow-up of seven years (2-15), six patients (6/11; one death) with DMPM and two patients (two/three) with MCPM had a local and distant recurrences. CONCLUSION Peritoneal mesothelioma in children is a rare condition with difficult diagnosis and high risk of recurrence. Worldwide interdisciplinary collaboration and networking are mandatory to help diagnosis and provide harmonious treatment guidelines.

Rapisarda AMC, Cianci A, Caruso S, Vitale SG, Valenti G, Piombino E, Cianci S. Benign multicystic mesothelioma and peritoneal inclusion cysts: are they the same clinical and histopathological entities? A systematic review to find an evidence-based management. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2018; 297:1353-1375. [PMID: 29511797 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-018-4728-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2017] [Accepted: 02/28/2018] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Peritoneal mesothelial cysts (PMC) are a clinical dilemma because of their true pathogenic nature. Many definitions have been associated with PMC, including "benign multicystic mesothelioma", "cystic mesothelioma", "multilocular peritoneal inclusion cysts", ''inflammatory cysts of the peritoneum" or "postoperative peritoneal cyst". METHODS We herein performed a systematic review of the literature focusing on clinical and histopathological aspects of PMC, diagnosis, and therapies. Moreover, we described our experience with a case of PMC in a young female. RESULTS Since there is often a history of prior surgery or inflammatory disease, most authors consider PMC of reactive origin. However, in some cases they occur without any documentable signs of disease or injury. A variety of clinical findings can complicate the preoperative assessment and a multitude of histological pictures may potentially lead to a misdiagnosis. The absence of a uniform treatment strategy and lack of long-term follow-up often hinder the accurate definition leading to unnecessary or unnecessarily aggressive therapy. CONCLUSIONS PMC are more common than had previously been thought. Most authors consider them non-neoplastic; thus the designation of "peritoneal inclusion cyst" is preferable. The term "mesothelioma" should be used only in cases of histological evidences of atypia. The high rates of recurrence suggest that the goal of treatment should not be necessarily complete eradication, but symptomatic relief through individualized treatment. This is a topic of particular importance, especially in young female where recurrence rates could be lower than those reported in adults and where an improperly aggressive treatment could have repercussions on fertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare tumor comprising multiple cysts typically found within the abdominal cavity. Although the literature has numerous accounts of this entity in adults, only a handful of cases have been published regarding its presence in the pediatric population. CASE We present the case of a prepubertal 10-year-old girl with the finding of benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma at laparoscopy for suspected appendicitis, the management, and outcome. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Although benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma can be treated with primary excision, the high recurrence rate in adult cases of this disease necessitates the need for long-term follow-up of these patients and provides a challenge to surgeons in providing continuing care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Benign cystic mesothelioma (BCM) is a rare tumor with benign characteristic. There are only 8 child cases reported in the English literature. In this report, we present this rare entity a brief review of the literature. CASE REPORT A two year-old boy presenting with abdominal swelling was hospitalized. Physical examination revealed a mass filling the abdomen. Laboratory findings were not specific. Abdominal computerized tomography showed a 15×13×11 cm cystic mass extending from the bladder to the liver with no solid components and no infiltration to adjacent organs. Operation revealed a cystic mass filled with yellow-green serous fluid which was attached to the right lobe of the liver with a 1 cm thick peduncle. Total excision of the mass was performed by clamping and cutting the narrow attachment. Recovery was uneventful. Pathology revealed multiple cysts lined with mesothelial cells. No recurrence was seen after 5 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION BCM should be kept in mind as a rare cause of the abdominal mass in children, as it may lead to confusion in preoperative diagnosis. Although rare, patients should be followed throughout life because of the risk of recurrence and malignant degeneration.

Abstract
The benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum is a rare lesion that occurs predominatly in women of reproductive age and has a high propensity for local recurrence. It is very rare in childhood, especially in boys, being reported in only 4 cases. A new case of benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum in an 11-year-old boy is reported. The lesion occupied the entire left abdomen, arising from the transverse mesocolon, and it was accompanied by 4 small cysts. The patient had a coexistent right-sided renal agenesis. The mesothelial nature of the cysts epithelial lining cells was confirmed by immunopositivity for calretinin, cytokeratin 5/6, HBME1, and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). No recurrence of the lesion was noted in the 7-month follow-up. Pathologists and clinicians should be aware of the existence of this rare entity in childhood to establish an accurate diagnosis and provide close follow-up after the surgery.

Abstract
The pediatric population has a number of unique considerations related to the diagnosis and treatment of ascites. This review summarizes the physiologic mechanisms for cirrhotic and noncirrhotic ascites and provides a comprehensive list of reported etiologies stratified by the patient's age. Characteristic findings on physical examination, diagnostic imaging, and abdominal paracentesis are also reviewed, with particular attention to those aspects that are unique to children. Medical and surgical treatments of ascites are discussed. Both prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of ascites are required to avoid associated morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
A 4-year old female child presented with clinical features of ascites that, on computed tomography, showed a huge thin-walled cystic lesion in the peritoneum. Laparotomy confirmed a unilocular cyst in the peritoneum adhered to the parietal wall and bowel but not originating from any internal organs. Histopathologic examination of the cyst wall was consistent with the diagnosis of benign mesothelioma. Benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum has rarely been reported in children.

Abstract
Multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (MCPM) is a rare cystic proliferation most often seen in women of reproductive age with a history of prior abdominal surgery. This is a case report of an 83-year-old woman diagnosed with MCPM during an exploratory laparotomy for presumed peritoneal carcinomatosis from colon cancer. After complete removal of all visible MCPM, the patient remains free of both colon cancer and MCPM. This article reviews the literature with regards to the pathology, natural history, risk of malignant transformation, and current options for management of MCPM, including cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Abstract
An 11-month-old male presented with massive ascites and respiratory distress with no known etiology. Laparotomy confirmed ascites with multiple large cystic structures that originated in the left retroperitoneum. Grossly, it resembled lymphangioma; however, histopathologic diagnosis was benign cystic mesothelioma (BCM), an entity that presents mainly in women of childbearing age. After resection, the child had 2 recurrences for the following year, the first of which required resection. He also underwent resection of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the right lung. Only 4 other confirmed pediatric cases of BCM have appeared in the literature. As BCM may be confused with lymphangioma, it is important to be aware of BCM because of its propensity for recurrence and possible malignant degeneration.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To identify adolescent females with peritoneal inclusion cysts and characterize the clinicopathologic features. DESIGN Observational and chart review along with immunohistochemical studies. SETTING University pediatric and adolescent clinic. RESULTS Medical records of all subjects, ages 10-18 years, diagnosed with peritoneal inclusion cysts over a 4-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Four patients, ages 11-16 years (mean, 13.8 yrs) were identified. Pelvic pain was the most common presenting symptom. No palpable abdominal or pelvic masses were detected. However, pelvic lesions were identified by radiographic studies in three of the four patients. Half experienced tenderness on examination. With one exception, all had a prior history of abdominal surgery. Twelve peritoneal inclusion cysts were identified, ranging from 1 cm to 7 cm in greatest diameter. Most were uninvolved in coexisting adhesions and non-adherent to pelvic or abdominal structures. Each had a well-defined pedicle connection to the peritoneum. No associated complications were identified. Their appearance conformed to established morphologic and immunohistochemical criteria, although accompanying mesothelial-associated changes occasionally reported in other populations were not detected. No recurrences were recorded. CONCLUSION Young female adolescents with peritoneal inclusion cysts share presenting symptoms and histories of previous abdominal surgery similar to those reported in older female adolescents and adults. A palpable mass may not be detected on examination, but can often be identified using radiographic studies. Our cases differ from previous reports by smaller cyst size, presence of a pedicle, and uncomplicated gross and microscopic appearances. Additionally, local recurrences and associated complications occurred less than reported in adults.

Abstract
Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) is a rare tumor that occurs mainly in women in their reproductive age. The pathogenesis of BMPM is unclear and a controversy regarding its neoplastic and reactive nature exists.
The biological behavior of BMPM is characterized by its slowly progressive process and high rate of recurrence after surgical resection. In addition this lesion does not present a strong tendency to transform into malignancy. Today approximately 130 cases have been reported.
We here report a 62-year-old woman who had diffuse abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Physical examination revealed a painful mass in her upper abdomen. She reported a mild dehydration, but the vital signs were normal. Peristaltic rushes, gurgles and high-pitched tinkles were audible. Upright plain abdominal film revealed small bowel loops with air-fluid levels. She was diagnosed having an incarcerated incisional hernia that resulted in intestinal obstruction. The patient underwent surgery during which a cystic mass of the right ovary measuring 6 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm, four small cysts of the small bowel (1 cm in diameter) and a cyst at the retroperitoneum measuring 11 cm x 10 cm x 3 cm were found. Complete resection of the lesion was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery and had no recurrence two years after surgery.

Abstract
We report a case of fallopian tube and peritoneal lesions resected from a 10-year-old girl with Proteus syndrome. The papillary fallopian tube tumor expressed CA-125 and demonstrated negative staining for CEA, CD15, calretinin, and CK 5/6. Nondilated portions of fallopian tube exhibited evidence of an in situ component. This patient was also found to have peritoneal mesothelial hyperplasia as well as cystic peritoneal lesions of mesothelial origin, with positive calretinin staining. This case provides direct evidence of both Müllerian and mesothelial lesions arising concurrently in a patient with Proteus syndrome and represents the 1st documented fallopian tube neoplasm. Previously reported lesions involving the female and male genital tracts in patients with Proteus syndrome are reviewed.

Abstract
We report on benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma in two siblings whose family had a history of multiple familial diseases including diverticulosis. After a genetic evaluation and a chromosomal analysis, we were not able to identify a specific genetic cause of the family's pattern of disease. We assumed that previous surgical procedures and the chronic inflammatory process from diverticulitis were the underlying etiology. Both patients had multiple recurrences with indolent courses similar to those reported in other cases. After the recurrences, one patient was treated with cystic aspiration and the other with hormones. The cysts in both cases regressed partially but the patients were relieved of their clinical symptoms, for 2 years after cystic drainage in one case and for 5 years after hormonal treatment in the other.

Abstract
Benign cystic mesothelioma (BCM) is an uncommon lesion of the peritoneum occurring predominantly in women of reproductive age. Although most patients are managed by surgical resection, a reported high incidence of cyst recurrence has led to the use of hormonal therapy in isolated cases in an attempt to control cyst size and relieve local symptoms. To date, the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status of BCM has not been evaluated. Here we present our experience with 17 cases (13 women, 4 men) of BCM seen over a 19-year period, including an immunohistochemical analysis of ER and PR status in 14 cases. All lesions showed typical morphological features of BCM, and calretinin immunostaining was positive in 14 of 14 cases. Five patients experienced either 1 or 2 tumor recurrences, and no patients died of disease. One case was diffusely positive for ER only, 1 case was focally positive for PR only, and 1 case was focally positive for both ER and PR. Although immunohistochemical detection of female sex hormone receptors in BCM is uncommon, the focal presence of ER and/or PR in some lesions does provide weak biologic support for the use of hormonal manipulation as a therapeutic option. Hum Pathol 34:369-374.

Abstract
A 58-year-old Italian man was incidentally discovered to have an elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA-19-9) level of 132 U/mL on routine blood testing. Multisystem imaging studies revealed multiple benign-appearing cysts of the liver and single cysts in the pancreas and kidney parenchyma. Throughout 14 months, fluctuations were observed in the elevated serum CA-19-9 levels from 99 to 450 U/mL. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and other tumor markers were normal. Laparoscopy disclosed multiple cystic lesions on the surface of the liver, on the serosal surface of the ileum, and in the mesentery. Electron microscopy characterized the cells as mesothelial. The pathologic diagnosis was benign multicystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum (BMMP). Aspirated fluid from the liver cyst revealed CA-19-9 levels at 28 500 U/mL, strongly linking the elevated serum CA-19-9 levels with mesothelial cyst secretion. Immunostaining was positive for CA-19-9, CEA, and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125). We believe this is the first documented instance of CA-19-9 and CEA secretion in BMMP.

Abstract
A 66-year-old Japanese man who had undergone a subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer 1 year earlier, and was asymptomatic, underwent a computed tomography scan during a detailed follow-up examination, which revealed a pancreatic mass. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a solid tumor containing a cystic lesion, and abdominal magnetic resonance demonstrated a tumor with low intensity on T1-weighted images and high intensity on T2-weighted images. Although an abdominal angiography added no new information to help in establishing a preoperative diagnosis, it showed an avascular mass. An endoscopic retrograde pancreatograhy showed compression and deviation of the body part of the pancreatic duct, and dilatation of its caudal part. At laparotomy, an elastic soft tumor was found to originate from the peritoneum of the omental bursa in front of the pancreas. The tumor was encapsulated and solid. The solid lesion consisted of spindle-shaped cells, but no atypical cells were observed. The histological findings were diagnostic of a benign solitary fibrous mesothelioma, which is extremely rare. The patient is currently well and disease-free more than 5 years after this operation.

Abstract
Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BCPM) is a rare tumor, primarily affecting young women; approximately 130 cases have been described mainly in the pathological and surgical literature. We present imaging findings of a giant BCPM in a male patient and discuss the radiological differential diagnosis with a brief review of the literature.
