Abstract
The immunohistochemical diagnosis of atypical epithelial proliferations in pleural fluid is a challenging topic in cytopathology and surgical pathology. Mesothelioma may be simulated clinically and radiologically by several other nonneoplastic and neoplastic disorders, mandating that strict histologic, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural guidelines be followed for its diagnosis. Because of its availability to most laboratories, immunohistochemistry has emerged as the most commonly used procedure for the diagnosis of pleural malignancies. This review considers the current status of that investigative modality, with particular attention to lesions that are suspected to be mesothelial.
