Abstract
We report a case of cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum in a young male w ith local recurrences and whose diagnosis was confirmed by standard histolo gical studies and immunohistochemistry. This rare tumor appears generally i n young females through abdominal pain and mass. Local recurrences without distant metastases are a feature of this pathology. The adequate treatment requires complete resection.
