Abstract: | Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare disease associated with mild, nonspecific abdominal symptoms and a wide spectrum
of imaging findings, with thickened mesentery and peritoneum being the most common ones. A case of a malignant peritoneal
mesothelioma presenting with manifestations of pulmonary disease is reported. Imaging evaluation revealed pleural, lung and
pericardial involvement together with retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, little ascites and extensive omental, but only subtle,
mesenteric thickening.
