Communicating imaging findings in peritoneal mesothelioma: the impact of ‘PAUSE’ on surgical decision-making
Abstract The peritoneal cavity is the second commonest site of mesothelioma after the pleural cavity. There are five histological types of peritoneal mesothelioma with variable symptomatology, clinical presentation and prognosis. Cystic mesothelioma is a borderline malignant neoplasm with a favourab...
