ABSTRACT

Type 2: White Lesions Malignant peritoneal disease may feature a white color related to the thickening of the peritoneum. Small, nonconfluent lesions look like wax spots (Fig. 7). White lesions can also be confluent (Fig. 8). Thick and confluent white lesions are described as “plaques” (Fig. 9). White spots may be associated with exophytic lesions with a combination of various features including plaques (Fig. 10). A rare but characteristic feature is the “white web” (Fig. 11) that covers the visceral and parietal peritoneum without forming plaques.
