Le scanner thoraco-abdomino-pelvien était normal. La patiente a bénéficié d'un traitement chirurgical suivi d'une radiothérapie et une chimiothérapie. Les mésothéliomes malins sont des tumeurs de localisation le plus souvent pleurale, plus rarement au niveau du péritoine, la localisation clitoridienne est exceptionnelle.
