• deciduoid mesothelioma
  2 July 2012

  Definition: Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma that was initially considered to occur exclusively in the peritoneum of young women who had no history of asbestos exposure and to be characterized by an aggressive clinical course, but it was later demonstrated that this tumor could also occur in the pleura of older men and women who had been exposed to asbestos.
  Some subsequent studies have also indicated that the clinical course is no different from that of (...)

  Localized fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare tumors, accounting for less than 5% of all neoplasms involving the pleura.
  Although these tumors affect men and women of all ages, the mean age according to Briselli et al. is 51 years. The tumors are composed of haphazardly arranged (...)

• pleural adenomatoid tumor
  13 September 2011

  Adenomatoid tumours most commonly arise in the genital tract, but occasionally occur in the pleura. They are small and solitary and usually discovered as incidental findings.
  Histologically, they are composed of vacuolated epithelioid mesothelial cells forming tubular spaces.
  Differential diagnosis
  Some examples of malignant mesothelioma have a very similar adenomatoid growth pattern and, as adenomatoid tumours have a mesothelial origin, their immunohistochemical profile is identical. (...)

  Examples
  pleural plaque Dense areas of fibrosis-creating plaques usually on the anterior, and posterior-lateral areas of the parietal pleura and also on the domes of the diaphragm. Microscopically they are composed of dense collagenous tissue sometimes with calcifications, but do not contain asbestos bodies.
