Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma; cancer of the lining of the abdominal caviety.
August 30th, 2008. Technical aspects of cytoreductive surgery
The panel also agreed that in the closed technique for HIPEC administration the intestinal anastomoses should be fashioned after completion of the perfusion. Finally when considering the place for protective ostomies the experts voted for a flexible approach allowing the surgeon to exercise discretion for individual patients.
August 30th, 2008. Metastatic appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma to well-differentiated diffuse mesothelioma of the peritoneal cavity: a mimicker of florid mesothelial hyperplasia in association with neoplasms
Although commonly associated with atypical/ florid mesothelial hyperplasia, a carcinoma can rarely metastasize to a well-differentiated mesothelioma, which can pose significant diagnostic difficulties because it can mimic a reactive process. This unusual case report expands the spectrum of mesothelial proliferation in conjunction with a malignant neoplasm and serves to remind pathologists that such a concomitant occurrence exists.
August 19th, 2008. Rectus abdominis muscle resection for abdominal wall recurrence of mucinous adenocarcinoma or peritoneal mesothelioma
Conclusions: No patients required reoperation for abdominal wall hernia and mesh repair was not used in any of these patients. Disease control within the abdominal wall has been excellent.
August 5th, 2008. Current status and future strategies of cytoreductive surgery plus intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis
In spite of the need for more high quality phase III studies, there is now a consensus among many surgical oncology experts throughout the world about the use of this new treatment strategy as standard care for colorectal cancer patients with PC. This review summarizes the current status and possible progress in future.

August 5th, 2008. Surgical treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis with reduction surgery and perioperative chemotherapy
An organ resection should thus be performed. The patient is then referred to a specialized center, either within the ten days following the procedure, or after three months, most of the time after an adjuvant therapy.
August 1st, 2008. Imaging of primary malignant tumors of peritoneal and retroperitoneal origin
However, the imaging features of these primary tumors, in combination with the clinical and demographic data, can be utilized to narrow the scope of the differential diagnosis. This chapter will present the clinical and imaging features of primary peritoneal and retroperitoneal tumors arising from the various tissue components that comprise the ligaments, mesenteries and connective tissues of these anatomic spaces.
July 26th, 2008. A pharmacologic analysis of intraoperative intracavitary cancer chemotherapy with doxorubicin
Conclusions: Doxorubicin shows characteristics favorable for intracavitary administration with sequestration of doxorubicin in cancer nodules.

July 24th, 2008. Primary yolk sac tumor of the omentum: a case report and review of the literature
Conclusion: To our knowledge this is the fourth case of primary omental YST. A review of the literature indicates that the diagnosis of YST requires proper evaluations of tumor makers and a skilled pathologist for analysis of frozen sections.
July 22nd, 2008. Pemetrexed plus gemcitabine as first-line chemotherapy for patients with peritoneal mesothelioma: final report of a phase II trial
Conclusion: The combination of pemetrexed plus gemcitabine was active in patients with MPeM with a notably high incidence of neutropenia. Median TTPD and OS seem promising. This regimen may provide an alternative to standard therapies, especially for patients who cannot tolerate a platinum-based regimen.
July 3rd, 2008. Multiple mechanisms of telomere maintenance exist and differentially affect clinical outcome in diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma
Conclusions: Our results indicate that both known telomere maintenance mechanisms, TA and ALT, are present in DMPM and differentially affect patient prognosis.
July 1st, 2008. Malignant mesothelioma with heterologous elements: clinicopathological correlation of 27 cases and literature review
Immunohistochemical labelling for cytokeratins is helpful in the distinction, but lack of labelling for cytokeratins in a spindle cell/sarcomatoid tumour does not exclude the diagnosis of mesothelioma, irrespective of the presence of heterologous elements. We suggest that if the anatomical distribution conforms to that of mesothelioma, a diagnosis of heterologous mesothelioma should be made in preference to a diagnosis of primary pleural osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma, regardless of cytokeratin positivity, as for conventional non-heterologous sarcomatoid mesothelioma.

June 24th, 2008. Immunophenotyping of serous carcinoma of the female genital tract
D2-40 and cytokeratin 5/6 are expressed in a considerable proportion of serous carcinomas and should be used cautiously in a 'mesothelioma panel' in situations where serous carcinoma is in the differential diagnosis. HER2/neu was exclusively overexpressed in serous carcinomas of endometrial origin.
June 6th, 2008. Cytomorphologic features of well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma in peritoneal effusion: A case report
The identification of a collagenous ball within these clusters is a useful cytologic finding for the diagnosis of WDPM. WDPM should be suspected when numerous collagenous balls are present by effusion cytology and isolated cells are not.
May 23rd, 2008. Primary peritoneal mesotheliomas in children: a clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study of eight cases
Conclusions: Peritoneal malignant mesothelioma in children is a rare condition that can introduce difficulties in histopathological diagnosis.

May 16th, 2008. Neoplastic and nonneoplastic conditions of serosal membrane origin: CT findings
Nonneoplastic conditions manifest as focal or diffuse thickening of the serosal membrane, a variable amount of fluid in the serosal cavity, and a soft-tissue mass at CT. Although the CT findings of some of the conditions overlap, knowledge of the typical findings is helpful in narrowing the differential diagnosis.
May 15th, 2008. Cytology of benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma in peritoneal washings
Conclusion: The combination of cytology of the peritoneal washing, histology (cell block and surgical specimen) and clinical history allow differentiation of BMPM from other cystic lesions (cystic lymphangioma and malignant mesothelioma).
April 29th, 2008. Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma as a rare cause of ascites: a case report
Conclusion: We concluded from this case that Peritoneal Mesothelioma although rare but should be considered among the differential diagnosis of Ascites.
April 16th, 2008. Mortality from pleural and peritoneal cancer in a cohort of asbestos workers, many years after start of the exposure: possible role of fibers clearance]
The risk for pleural cancer, rather than showing an indefinite increase, might reach a plateau when a sufficiently long time has elapsed since exposure. The different trends for pleural and peritoneal cancer might be related to clearance of the asbestos from the workers' lungs.
April 16th, 2008. Activity of the Campania Register of Mesothelioma from july 2003 to October 2007
16%), Ship building (7. 5%).
