both benign and malignant&#44; that may infiltrate them&#44; distort their architecture&#44; or cause thickening of the peritoneal covering&#46; The most common neoplasms that affect the peritoneum are the metastatic carcinoma &#40;of colon&#44; ovary and stomach&#44; and less frequently&#44; of pancreas&#44; bile duct&#44; and uterus&#41;&#44; and the lymphoma&#46; Other even more rare etiologies are the bladder carcinoma&#44; the gastrointestinal leiomyosarcomas&#44; and metastatic melanomas&#46; The primary mesenteric carcinoid tumor&#44; the epyplon and peritoneum neoplams are less common and&#44; in general&#44; they have mesenchymal origin&#46; Among the benign process we find granulomatous conditions&#44; hematomas&#44; infections or inflammatory processes&#8211;all of them much less commom&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#8211;3</span></a></p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The metastatic damage may occur in the form of a mass or diffuse infiltration of fat due to contiguity&#44;

In other cases&#44; only the diffuse thickening of the peritoneum is evident&#46; Both the primary peritoneal tumors and the benign processes described can show overlapping findings in the different imaging modalities&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#8211;4</span></a> For all this&#44; it is essential to obtain a specimen to conduct the histological study and know what the origin really is&#46; The biopsy will be particularly important in patients with a history of a known tumor because we will be able to confirm the origin of tumor and know whether it is metastatic&#44;
