BACKGROUND Benign mesothelioma is a rare tumour mostly found in the genital tract. METHODS We report the case of 30-years old woman presenting pelvic pain. The ultrasound scan revealed a cystic pelvic mass. Laparoscopic exploration showed a uterine posterior formation. The resection of the dome was performed. Histologic exam and immnunochemistry concluded to a benign cystic mesothelioma. CONCLUSIONS The benign mesothelioma of the uterus is usually discovered in histology, differential diagnosis for solid forms can be made with leiomyoma or adenomyoma, whereas the cystic forms can be discussed essentially with the ovarian cysts. The presence of mesothelial immunophenotype in immunochemistry improves diagnosis. Clinical outcome is always favourable without recurrence or malignant transformation.

D018261 Mesothelioma, Cystic A peritoneal mesothelioma affecting mainly young females and producing cysts of variable size and number lined by a single layer of benign mesothelial cells. The disease follows a benign course and is compatible with a normal life expectancy, requiring occasionally partial excision or decompression for relief of pain or other symptoms. Malignant potential is exceptional. (From Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1345) Cystic Mesothelioma,Cystic Mesotheliomas,Mesotheliomas, Cystic
