Özet
Malignant deciduoid mesothelioma (MDM) is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. This type of tumor might be associated with the asbestos exposure and carries a poor prognosis in general. MDM was first described by Nascimento et al. in 1994 in a peritoneal lesion of a young woman. And its diagnosis is frequently mistaken with florid mesothelial hyperplasia and peritoneal deciduosis. There are 44 MDM cases reported in the literature up today.
