Background
The specificity and sensitivity of HEG1 for malignant mesothelioma (MM) is high. The use of BAP1/MTAP immunohistochemistry (IHC) is recommended to separate benign and malignant mesothelial proliferations. We determined how ancillary techniques can be used for the cytological diagnosis of MM with effusion.
Methods
Cell blocks from effusions from cases with MM, reactive mesothelial cells...
BackgroundLoss of BAP1 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and CDKN2A(p16) deletion by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been proposed to distinguish malignant mesothelioma (MM) from atypical reactive mesothelial proliferations (ARMP) in effusions but it is uncertain whether both tests are needed routinely.
MethodsParaffin embedded blocks from 67 effusions (32 MM, 35 ARMP) were evaluated with...
