“…Cross sectional imaging is required for workup and shows intraabdominal, primarily pelvic, multicystic lesions. This can lead to a large differential list in the female pelvis and it is suggested that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful in determining origin of the lesion and if there is a solid or liquid component [7] . Differentials during workup include PMP, mucinous cystic neoplasm, lympangiomas, adenomatoid tumours, and in females benign and malignant tumours of the ovaries [1] .…”

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.
