Tumors of the Peritoneum, Omentum, Mesentery, and Retroperitoneum
摘要
The peritoneum is a thin serous membrane that consists of a single layer of simple cuboidal epithelium called a mesothelium [1]. The peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall is called the parietal peritoneum, while that lining the viscera is called the visceral peritoneum. Folds of the peritoneum constitute ligaments and support the various structures within the abdominal cavity.
