متن کاملThe Role of Immunohistochemistry Studies in Distinguishing Malignant Mesothelioma from Metastatic Lung Carcinoma in Malignant Pleural Effusion
Background and Objective: Early diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is the key point of its treatment. The main problem is the precise diagnosis of mesothelioma and its differentiation from metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. Mesothelioma exhibits complex immunohistochemical characteristics. The aim of this study was to study hybrid immunohistochemistry in the differe...
متن کاملMalignant Mesothelioma Mimicking Invasive Mammary Carcinoma in a Male Breast
Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon tumor with strong association with asbestos exposure. Few cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma metastatic to the female breast have been reported. Herein, we presented, for the first time, a case of locally infiltrating malignant pleural mesothelioma forming a mass in the breast of a male as the first pathologically confirmed manifestation of the disease...
متن کاملCD90 is a diagnostic marker to differentiate between malignant pleural mesothelioma and lung carcinoma with immunohistochemistry.
OBJECTIVES To pathologically distinguish mesothelioma from lung carcinoma, particularly adenocarcinoma. METHODS We conducted immunohistochemical analyses on clinical specimens, including 26 cases of mesothelioma, 28 cases of lung adenocarcinoma, and 33 cases of lung squamous cell carcinoma. RESULTS We found that CD90 expression was useful in making a differential diagnosis between epithelio...
متن کاملMalignant Desmoplastic Type Mesothelioma Mimicking a Fibrous Pseudo- tumor of the Tunica Vaginalis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon tumor of serosal surfaces. The most common sites of origin include the pleura and the peritoneum. Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is rare. We describe a 78 year-old man with a 2-month history of a rapidly enlarging scrotum. The initial pathologic diagnosis was fibrous pseudotumor by the presence of cellular spindle cells and the backgr...
