Primary tumours are rare: Mesothelioma, Lipoma. Secondary tumours are uncommon.

  • Transcoelomic spread, direct implantation
  • Ovarian, bile duct carcinomas, pancreatic and intestinal adenocarcinomas, gastric squamous cell carcinomas or any other abdominal neoplasia
  • Widespread metastases on peritoneum = carcinosis



Mesothelioma

  • Lipomas - horses
    • Arise from mesentery (particularly in horses), omentum (in dogs)
    • Can become large and pedunculated (horses)
    • May lead to strangulation of intestine
    • On cut surface may become friable and necrotic with only the superficial surface remaining viable

Secondary tumours

  • Uncommon
  • Transcoelomic spread, direct implantation
  • Ovarian, bile duct carcinomas, pancreatic and intestinal adenocarcinomas, gastric squamous cell carcinomas or any other abdominal neoplasia
  • Widespread metastases on peritoneum = carcinosis
