This case report describes a rare instance of benign cystic mesothelioma localized to the omentum in a 40-year-old woman presenting with recurrent abdominal pain. The patient’s condition was initially misdiagnosed as a cystic lymphangioma, highlighting the diagnostic challenge posed by this unusual presentation. The authors note that while benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma typically affects young to middle-aged women with histories of pelvic surgery or endometriosis, isolated omental involvement is not previously documented in the literature. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.

Abstract

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) or benign cystic mesothelioma is a very rare disease characterized by proliferative lesions of the peritoneal mesothelial cells mainly in the pelvic or abdominal cavity. It occurs predominantly in young to middle-aged women and the majority of cases were associated with a history of abdominal or pelvic operation, a history of endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. BMPM involving only the omentum is not mentioned in the literature; here, we present a unique case of BMPM which was diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma with differential diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei in a 40-year-old patient presenting as recurrent abdominal pain.
