Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumor. The most common localization of mesothelioma is pleura. It rarely arises from the peritoneum. It has been suggested that familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) may cause the development of peritoneal mesothelioma. We describe a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a hemodialysis patient with FMF. The patient was a 56 year old female. A history of FMF was present since her childhood. She did not use colchicine and suffered from recurrent ascites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the seventh case of FMF diagnosed as having malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in the medical literature.
