A young woman with pelvic pain and endometriosis developed recurrent multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma in the pouch of Douglas after surgical excision of an initial cystic tumor and endometrial cyst.

This paper reports a 21-year-old woman with chronic lower abdominal pain in whom ultrasound and laparoscopy identified adnexal cystic structures alongside a typical endometriotic cyst; laparotomy found an additional multicystic tumor composed of many small cysts in the pouch of Douglas. The excised endometriotic cyst and the tumor were histologically diagnosed as multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma. Less than one year later, ultrasound detected recurrence at the same site, and a repeat laparotomy showed another cluster of grape-like small, fluid-filled cysts adjacent to a right ovarian serous cyst, with histology matching the primary tumor. The authors note this rare tumor’s frequent recurrences and the ongoing controversy about whether it represents a reactive mesothelial proliferation rather than a true neoplasm, and this paper is centrally about endometriosis by describing recurrent multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma occurring during endometriosis in the lesser pelvis.
