Progression of Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma from Mesothelioma In Situ: A Case Report on Morphologic Changes during a Nine-month Interval and Careful Observation of Cytology in Early- stage Mesothelioma
Abstract:Background: It had been difficult to distinguish between reactive and malignant conditions due to overlapping morphological characteristics. The development of methods based on detecting genomic abnormalities using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have contributed greatly to solving this problem. In order to lead it to efficient IHC and/or FISH and final diagnosis of mesothelioma, it is important to pick up bland mesothelioma cells on cytological screening because the fi… Show more
