ABSTRACT

El mesotelioma peritoneal es una neoplasia que se origina en las células mesoteliales del peritoneo. Histórica-mente, la supervivencia de los pacientes con mesotelioma peritoneal maligno sin tratamiento, es menor de 12 meses y se considera una neoplasia resistente a la quimioterapia. La citorreducción quirúrgica y la quimioterapia regional administrada como quimioterapia hipertérmica intraperitoneal (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemothe-rapy, HIPEC) se asocia con mejor supervivencia a largo plazo.Se presenta el caso de un paciente con antecedentes de exposición al asbesto y con diagnóstico de mesotelioma peritoneal maligno de tipo epitelioide, que fue tratado con cirugía citorreductora más quimioterapia hipertérmica intraperitoneal en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología con una supervivencia de un año libre de enfermedad


Peritoneal mesothelioma is originated at the mesothelial cells of the peritoneum. Historically the survival of patients with this disease is less than 12 months without treatment and it is considered a neoplasm resistant to chemotherapy. Citorreductive surgery with hiperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with an increased long-term survival. Here we present the case of a patient who had a past history of asbestos exposure and who was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma of the epithelioid subtype. The patient was treated with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (Bogotá, Colombia) and has had a 12 month disease free survival
