Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Primary pleural epithelioid mesothelioma with clear cell morphology is a particularly rare neoplasm, with only a few documented cases. Here, the authors report a case of a 76-year-old man, with a history of asbestos exposure, admitted for mild dyspnea. Radiologic examination revealed right pleural effusion and pleural thickening. Cytological examination of aspirated pleural samples was consistent with non-small cell carcinoma. Histological examination of the resected, via VATS, plural specimens was consistent with the diagnosis of clear cell epithelioid mesothelioma. The authors further analyze the main morphological and immunohistochemical features of clear cell epithelioid mesothelioma, emphasizing the algorithm for excluding other clear cell tumors metastatic to the pleura. |
