Original Source: Long-term survival of a woman with well differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum: a case report and review of the literature.
ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum is a rare subtype of epitheloid mesothelioma, which is usually seen in young women. Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum is generally considered of low malignant potential, however the long-term nature of the tumor remains poorly defined. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the long-term follow-up of a 60-year-old woman of West African descent who has survived 24 years with well-differentiated papillary m...
