Objective: Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of malignant epithelioid mesothelioma. It often involves the peritoneum, but also thoracic cases have been reported. The aim of the present review is to describe the demographic, clinical, radiological, and pathological features of such a rare variant of thoracic mesothelioma, and the state of the art regarding the therapeutic approaches currently available.Data source: English-language articles published from 1985 to June 2016, and related to thoracic deciduoid mesothelioma cases were retrieved using the Pubmed database.Study selection: The search terms were "mesothelioma," "thoracic mesothelioma," "epithelial mesothelioma," "pleural mesothelioma," and "deciduoid mesothelioma."Results: Forty-four cases included in 16 articles, published in the period under investigation, were analyzed in detail.Conclusions: The mean age of the patients was 63 years, and the male to female ratio 1.7:1. Approximately 58% had exposure to asbestos, and 73% had a smoking history; familiarity was rarely reported. The most common anatomical site of origin was the right pleura, and the most frequent clinical manifestations were chest pain, dyspnea, cough, and weight loss. Thoracic X-ray and computed tomography were the imaging techniques most employed for diagnosis and surgical planning. The pathological diagnosis was obtained by examination of surgical or biopsy specimens in most cases. The best treatment strategy of deciduoid mesothelioma is a matter of debate; nevertheless a multidisciplinary approach is currently the best option for the choice of the adequate therapeutic scheme.cancer, deciduoid, mesothelioma, pleura, thorax | I NTR ODU CTI ONMalignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare form of cancer derived from mesothelial cells of serous membranes, principally the pleura and the peritoneum.1,2 In most industrialized countries, more than 80% of pleural mesotheliomas in men are related, principally for occupational reasons, to asbestos exposure, particularly to amosite and crocidolite fibres.3 Actually, high incidence rates are observed in western countries as a result of asbestos exposure in the 70s848 |

An Autopsy Case Report of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma with Deciduoid Features

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. We experienced the case of a 73-year-old man with asbestos exposure who was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma with deciduoid features. He received chemotherapy containing six cycles of cisplatin and pemetrexed and survived for twenty-five months after the diagnosis. At autopsy, the final diagnosis was biphasic pleural mesothelioma. Cells with deciduoid features had mostly disappeared, and spindle cells markedly proliferated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first autopsy case of malignant pleural mesothelioma with deciduoid features that exhibited a response to chemotherapy. Case ReportA 73-year-old man visited our hospital with sudden onset dyspnea and left chest pain. He quit a 40 pack-years smoking habit at 63 years of age when he received pancreatoduodenectomy for an adenocarcinoma of the major duodenal papilla. He also had a history of asbestos exposure when he worked as a shipyard worker until retirement. A chest X-ray examination revealed a collapse of the left lung. Subsequent computed tomography of the chest revealed the collapse of the left lung, diffuse distribution of a low attenuation area in both lungs and trivial thickening at the dorsal region of the left parietal pleura, leading to a diagnosis of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Primary malignant deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare subtype of epithelioid mesothelioma that was first described in the peritoneum in young women without a history of asbestos exposure. It was thought to be a distinct clinicopathologic entity with ominous prognosis; recent studies have better characterized this entity. On morphology, primary malignant deciduoid mesothelioma is characterized by cytomorphologic features resembling decidualized tissue. Pleomorphism is variable. The immunoprofile is similar to other epithelioid mesotheliomas. The prognosis is the same as other epithelioid mesotheliomas and seems to depend on histological grade.
