| Core Tip |
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm that arises from peritoneum. We present a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma mimicking tuberculous peritonitis (TBP). This case highlights the difficulty to distinguish MPM from TBP only based on unspecific clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and images especially in high prevalence area of TB, and therefore sheds light on the importance of laparoscopy which finally helps us confirm the diagnosis in this patient with unexplained ascites. |
