Mesotheliome peritoneal malin [a propos de'un cas]

ABSTRACT

The malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is rare and its symptomatology is not very specific, the radiological examinations are of a great interest in the diagnosis of this rare pathology like in the assessment of extension and the search of metastasis. We report a malignant case of peritoneal mesothelioma in a 11 year old child diagnosed with echography and abdomino-pelvic TDM and confirmed histologicaly. The peritoneal localization of the malignant mesothelioma is rare and seldom occurs in the child, its diagnosis must be evoked in front of an abdominal tumor with peritoneal and mesenteric attack in the ascites. The diagnosis of certainty is histological, the prognosis remains pejoratif
