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

Key Clinical MessageMalignant 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. 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.
