Mesothelioma are primary malignant neoplasms of the serous membranes. They usually involve the pleura and rarely the pericardium, the peritoneum and the tunica vaginalis testis. About 90% are associated with exposure to asbestos. The exposure is generally occupational, an environmental inhalation of asbestos and asbestiform fibers in areas in Turkey has been observed and presents a major health problem. This report of a patient from Anatolia with peritoneal mesothelioma after environmental exposure outlines the importance of considering this pathology in the differential diagnosis of a Turkish patient presenting with ascites.
