“…[6,9,10] Its pathogenesis may include: chronic stimulation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and previous abdominal surgery, leads to reactive proliferation of mesenchymal cells [6,7,[11][12][13][14][15] ; the disease occurs mostly in young and middle-aged women, so it is speculated that sex hormones are caused by the disease [11] ; genetic factors. [16][17][18][19] Histologically, the mesenchymal cells lining cysts are varied in shape. [20] Cysts are filled with serous fluid, and the stroma between cysts may contain inflammatory cells and fibrous components.…”

Rationale: Multicystic Mesothelioma (MM) is very rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult.Patient concerns: We report a case of a 34-year-old man with solid abdominal cystic echo mass. Physical examination showed that the patient had a flat and soft abdomen without tenderness or rebound pain, no fluid wave tremor, and no obvious abdominal mass was touched. The patient complained of repeated abdominal distention with nausea for 5 days. Sonographic examination suspected pseudomyxoma peritoneum.Diagnosis: Conventional ultrasound examination showed a cystic solid echo mass in the right abdominal cavity of the patient, with uneven internal echo and honeycomb change, and clear boundary with surrounding organs. Color Doppler suggested that the blood flow in the mass was not obvious. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed hypodensity foci in hepatic and renal crypts and right paracolic sulcus.Interventions: Laparoscopic resection of the mass was performed, and the postoperative pathological findings were polycystic mesothelioma (greater omentum).Outcomes: After mass resection, all laboratory tests and abdominal ultrasound were normal, and abdominal distension and nausea disappeared.Lessons: Improved ultrasound diagnosis of MM is useful for clinical decision-making.

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.
