Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy, presenting with non-specific and potentially-misleading manifestations.

Maintaining a low diagnostic threshold, obtaining a detailed history, and utilizing immunohistochemical markers to diagnose MPM is crucial as early diagnosis and treatment might improve survival.
