Popis:	A case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma mimicking panperitonitis is presented. A 77-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of constipation in May, 1996. Blood laboratory tests were normal except for anemia, and elevated tires of CRP and serum CA125. CT and US exams of the abdomen revealed local ascites in extrahepatic and left lower abdominal spaces. An exploratory laparotomy showed a thickened mesentery and bands of pale fibrous tissue along the antimesenteric serosal surface, consistent with panperitonitis. Peritoneal biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of granulomatous peritonitis was reported. Her condition worsened and she died 3 months after admission. At autopsy examination, it was diagnosed as sarcomatous type is relatively rare among diffuse malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas. Based on our experience with this case, we discuss herein malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.
