Peritoneal Mesothelioma refers to mesothelioma in the abdominal cavity and nearby organs. Generally, it attacks the lining of the abdominal cavity and then affects the organs and contents within the abdomen. This type of cancer is only known to be caused by asbestos exposure. If it is referred to as diffused peritoneal mesothelioma, the name indicates it has spread out and is no longer only in the abdomen.
