Cystic Mesothelioma

Cystic mesothelioma is a type of peritoneal mesothelioma that affects mainly young females. When cystic mesothelioma occurs, cysts are lined with a layer of benign mesothelial cells. Since cystic mesothelioma is a benign form of mesothelioma, normal life expectancy occurs. In some instances, though, cystic mesothelioma will require some treatment depending on the pain or symptoms experienced.

Cystic mesothelioma is rare and tough to diagnose due to the complicated procedures that must be performed prior to confirming if cystic mesothelioma is present. Electron microscopy and immunohistochemical studies must first occur before cystic mesothelioma is found. Partial excision or decompression can be used to relieve any pain or symptomatic problems associated to cystic mesothelioma.
