    AbstractChronic abdominal pain syndrome is becoming increasingly important. The main symptom is persistent abdominal pain, which may vary intensely and be associated with constipation and episodes of vomiting, evolving towards sub- or total occlusion of the bowel. A 65-year old man presented with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, with environmental asbestos exposure and chronic abdominal pain for more than one year. Due to his poor general condition, only palliative surgery was performed to resolve small and large bowel obstruction.
