RESTREPO, Juliana; BUELVAS, Nelson; CARDONA, Uriel  e  GARCIA, Mauricio. Peritoneal malignant mesothelioma treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy at the National Cancer Institute, Colombia: case report and literature review. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.3, pp.292-299. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.445.

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.
