Overview

Mesothelioma must be differentiated from pleural effusion, lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, peritoneal tuberculosis, pseudomyxoma peritonei, constrictive pericarditis, ovarian cystadenoma, and mesothelial hyperplasia of the testis.

Differentiating Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Differentiating Pleural Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Pleural mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[1][2][1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

  • Secondary lesions that can involve the pleura

Differentiating Peritoneal Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Peritoneal mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[3][4]

Differentiating Pericardial Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Pericardial mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[5]

Differentiating Multicystic Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Multicystic mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[6]

Differentiating Tunica Vaginalis Testis Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Tunica vaginalis testis mesothelioma must be differentiated from:[7]

Differentiating peritoneal Mesothelioma from other Diseases

Differentiating peritoneal mesothelioma from other causes of peritonitis
Disease Prominent clinical findings Lab tests Tratment
Primary peritonitis Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Tuberculous peritonitis
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD peritonitis)
Secondary peritonitis Acute bacterial secondary peritonitis
Biliary peritonitis
Tertiary peritonitis
Familial Mediterranean fever (periodic peritonitis, familial paroxysmal polyserositis)
  • Colchicine prevents but does not treat acute attacks.
Granulomatous peritonitis
  • Diagnosed by the demonstration of diagnostic Maltese cross pattern of starch particles.
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis
Intraperitoneal abscesses
  • Diagnosed best by CT scan of the abdomen.
  • Treatment consists of prompt and complete CT or US guided drainage of the abscess, control of the primary cause, and adjunctive use of effective antibiotics. Open drainage is reserved for abscesses for which percutaneous drainage is inappropriate or unsuccessful.
Peritoneal mesothelioma
peritoneal carcinomatosis
