Sažetak

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare pathology that arises from
the abdominal peritoneum. It has an affinity to develop on the surfaces of pelvic viscera. It predominantly
occurs in women of reproductive age. The most used form of treatment is complete surgical
removal. We report a case of a a 21-year-old female patient who presented with unclear diffuse abdominal
pain. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis
revealed multiple functional cysts in the projection of the right and left ovary and free fluid in the
pouch of Douglas. Laparoscopy was performed and multicystic tumor with thin, smooth walls, filled
with clear serous content was found in lesser pelvis spreading to the left paracolic region and under the
spleen. The multicystic mass was removed. Histologic examination revealed cystic formations filled
with mucous content and formed from connective tissue outside and single row epithelium-mesothelium
inside. Definitive diagnosis was benign multicystic mesothelioma of the abdominal peritoneum.
The patient was well at one year follow-up.
