Abstract

Tumor pathology of the peritoneum is a vast field of activity for a practicing surgical pathologist. The variety of neoplastic lesions of the serous lining of the abdominal cavity is one of the most extensive in the diagnostic pathology. The tasks that the clinician poses for pathologist include not only verifying the pathological diagnosis of the tumor, but also determining the grade of malignancy, organ of origin, distinguishing of malignant and reactive processes. Successful solution of these tasks by a pathologist is a corner-stone of patient management, effectiveness of therapy, and finally, the survival of the patient. This chapter covers a number of rare pathological processes of the peritoneum, which sometimes can create significant diagnostic difficulties for pathologists.
