An incidental diagnosis of well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma in a woman operated on for recurrent endometriosis

The case presented involves a report of severe endometriosis with recurrent disabling dysmenorrhea associated with well-differentiated mesothelioma. Although the course of mesotheliomas is predominantly benign, the diversity of lesions, variable behavior, and resemblance, and association with endometriosis warrant thorough diagnostic investigation. Multiple biopsies and differential diagnoses are recommended in cases of peritoneal endometriosis.
