N2  - CASE PRESENTATION: Treatments used in our patient began with a complete cytoreductive surgery. This required visceral resections, parietal peritonectomy, peritonectomy of the small bowel and its mesentery, and a peritoneal resection of the colonic mesentery with sparing of the major vasculature of the large bowel; CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Peritoneal resection of the colonic mesentery and other treatments were performed in the absence of major complications. A 20-day hospitalization was required. The patient shows no internal hernias and no evidence of disease by CT follow-up at 4 years postoperatively. Her quality of life is excellent; CONCLUSIONS: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma was in the past a disease of limited survival without effective treatment options. Peritoneal resection of the colonic mesentery may be required for complete cytoreduction. A sequence of cytoreductive surgical procedures and regional chemotherapy treatments has made long-term survival possible. Copyright © 2021 The Author. Published by Elsevier Ltd..
