Abstract
Benign Multicystic Peritoneal Mesothelioma (BMPM) is a rare mesothelial neoplasm, first described in 1979, with an estimated incidence of 1-2 cases per million. It primarily affects women of reproductive age and has been associated with chronic inflammatory processes such as endometriosis or previous surgeries. Due to its clinical and radiological similarity to ovarian neoplasms, it is essential to include gynecological pathology in the differential diagnosis.
