Abstract EN
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare intra-abdominal malignancy.
Its aetiology has been thought to be due to either inhalation or ingestion of asbestos particles.
We present a case of peritoneal mesothelioma developing as a result of a novel third route and the inoculation of fibres into the peritoneal cavity by penetrating trauma and direct transport.
This case report highlights the important long term consequences of penetrating abdominal trauma and the need for vigilance in undertaking peritoneal toilet.
