Abstract

The parietal and visceral peritoneum, including the serosal surface covering the liver, is subject to various neoplastic and nonneoplastic alterations. In part of these lesions, tumors and tumor-like processes can involve the liver and cause differential diagnostic problems. Depending on the type of lesions, circumscribed focal masses or a diffuse process associated with thickening of the liver capsule can develop. Several types of primary peritoneal malignancies are known, including primary papillary serous carcinoma, primary psammocarcinoma, primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma, anaplastic giant cell carcinoma, hepatoid carcinoma, mesodermal (Müllerian) adenosarcoma, and malignant mesothelioma. A distinct neoplastic process known to involve the liver is pseudomyxoma peritonei most frequently associated with mucinous malignancies of the appendix and ovaries. Gliomatosis peritonei may involve large parts of the serosal surface. Numerous forms of reactive alterations of the peritoneum can give rise to small tumor-like lesions. They mainly include various types of metaplasia, granulomas, endometriosis, and deciduosis.
