Well-differentiated papillary mesothelial tumor of the peritoneum in a young woman: A case report with molecular insights
This case highlights that a definitive distinction between WDPMT and malignant mesothelioma is paramount, as it dictates a radically different management strategy. Integration of immunohistochemistry (particularly BAP1) and molecular profiling is essential for accurate diagnosis and can prevent overtreatment. For appropriately selected patients with WDPMT, conservative management with active surveillance represents a safe and effective approach, underscoring the value of precision medicine in guiding patient-centric care.
