Abstract

Mesothelioma of the peritoneum is the second most prevalent type. The peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdomen and abdominal organs, is affected in this type of cancer. A common risk factor is exposure to asbestos. There isn’t a cure, but surgery, chemotherapy, and palliative care can improve your prognosis and quality of life. Here we present a case of a 47-year-old female with peritoneal mesothelioma.
