Peritoneal cystic mesothelioma: successful treatment of a difficult disease.

Abstract
After several unsuccessful attempts at surgical resection, a case of cystic mesothelioma (multilocular mesothelial cyst of the peritoneum) was treated by a combination of conservative surgical resection and sclerosive therapy with tetracycline. At 4-year followup evaluation no recurrence was noted. Surgical excision with adjunct sclerosive therapy appears to be an alternative to radical surgery and may decrease the incidence of recurrence in some cases of peritoneal multilocular cysts.
