Abstract

Prolonged spontaneous clinical remission in a patient with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is described. The case is also unique because of the presence of highspiking fevers as a symptom of tumor recurrence and the finding of an elevated titer of rheumatoid factor in the ascitic fluid. The caution needed in interpreting results of therapeutic interventions in this tumor is emphasized.
