Recurrent malignant peritoneal mesothelioma treated by a second resection: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare and poor prognosis disease, is seldom treated surgically, especially for recurrence. However, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of primary and recurrent tumors can achieve long‐term patient survival. Abstract Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive tumor, and rarely indicated for surgery, especially for recurrence. In the present case, we report a rare case who could survive long‐term after two surgeries in 4 years for MPM.
