⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-06 ⓘ

This chapter reviews a wide range of nonneoplastic and neoplastic peritoneal (and sometimes retroperitoneal lymph node) lesions in females, covering inflammatory lesions, tumor-like lesions, mesothelial neoplasms, other primary tumors, and metastatic tumors. It further devotes the second half to a group of lesions that show Müllerian differentiation and may arise from the secondary Müllerian system, with endometriosis presented as the prototypical example, emphasizing diagnostic considerations within this spectrum. The chapter is a narrative pathology overview rather than original data, and its scope includes many entities, which may limit depth on any single condition. Relevance to endometriosis: endometriosis is explicitly used as the prototypical lesion among Müllerian-differentiated peritoneal lesions discussed in the chapter, placing it within a broader differential diagnosis of peritoneal pathology.
