Abstract EN
Multicystic benign mesothelioma (MBM) is a rare peritoneal pathology typically affecting women in reproductive age.
Though MBM is considered benign, these lesions are prone to recurrence and their growth could be modulated by the presence of oestrogen receptors.
Acute presentation of MBM is still very rare in pregnancy and management options are not established.
We describe a case of MBM presenting in early pregnancy with acute pain.
This was successfully treated with surgical resection.
Pregnancy continued uneventfully to term and no evidence of recurrent MBM was found at Caesarean section.
