Abstract.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is virtually unknown to feature as a solitary lesion. A patient presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, and melena and underwent enteroclysis, computed tomography, and superior mesenteric arteriography. Sharp angulation, narrowing, and mucosal destruction in a jejunal segment, caused by an encapsulating infiltrative mesenteric mass, were shown. The diagnosis of a malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, localized to the small intestine, was made at histology.
