Antemortem diagnosis in two cases of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma
…the abdomen. A biopsy taken by peritoneoscopy, a scope inserted into the abdomen, was read as consistent with mesothelioma or an inflammatory reaction. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology then confirmed mesothelioma. He died, and autopsy…

Unusually favorable outcome of 6 consecutive patients with diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma treated with repeated doses of intraperitoneal paclitaxel. A case series
…died of disease 15 years after treatment. Three of the 6 had a grade III/IV adverse event: an inverted and then infected port, an intense allergic reaction, and a small bowel perforation. In 5 patients…

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma and Crohn disease
Mesothelial reaction simulating peritoneal diffuse malignant mesothelioma (MM) has been reported in the setting of Crohn ileitis. To our knowledge, peritoneal MM arising in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been reported. The purpose…

Mesothelial proliferation due to asbestos and man-made fibres. Experimental studies on rat omentum
…in rats has proven to be an appropriate method controlling fibrogenicity and carcinogenicity of asbestos fibres and other fibrous dusts. We analyzed the reaction patterns of mesothelial cover layer to different natural mineral fibres (crocidolite, chrysotile…

A comparison of epidermal growth factor receptor expression in malignant peritoneal and pleural mesothelioma
…MM) specimens were subjected to IHC staining and FISH to evaluate the expression of EGFR protein and gene status. Overall positive IHC reaction was detected in 20/38 (53%) cases, in 11/22 (50%) pleural MM…

Survey and biological insights of pemetrexed-related therapeutic improvement in mesothelioma: The Nancy Centre of Biological Resources' Mesothelioma Cohort
…France (1989-2007). Blood or paired tumoral and normal samples were collected from the last 210 French patients to study the TCII single nucleotide polymorphisms at the codon 259 (quantitative polymerase chain reaction). Results were compared…

Human mesotheliomas contain the simian virus-40 regulatory region and large tumor antigen DNA sequences
…40-induced hamster mesothelioma tumor H9A. Polymerase chain reaction primers were used to amplify various simian virus 40 large T-antigen regions including a 105-base pair amino terminus fragment, a 281-base pair carboxyl terminus…

Iron overload signature in chrysotile-induced malignant mesothelioma
…closely associated with iron overload: repeated administration of an iron chelator, nitrilotriacetic acid, which promotes the Fenton reaction, significantly reduced the period required for carcinogenesis; massive iron deposition was found in the peritoneal organs with high…

'Mucin-positive' epithelial mesothelioma of the peritoneum: an unusual diagnostic pitfall
…crystals. Repeat histochemical analysis following hyaluronidase pretreatment revealed a significantly diminished diastase-resistant periodic acid-Schiff reaction. This case of primary peritoneal 'mucin-positive' epithelial mesothelioma demonstrates morphological and histochemical mimicry with diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma. A…

New Markers for Separating Benign From Malignant Mesothelial Proliferations: Are We There Yet?
This was a literature review of laboratory tests for telling malignant mesothelioma from benign mesothelial reactions. The authors wrote that five older stains (GLUT-1, p53, IMP-3, epithelial membrane antigen and desmin) worked only in…

Thoracic complications in patients undergoing intraperitoneal heated chemotherapy with mitomycin following cytoreductive surgery
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and severity of thoracic reactions in patients undergoing intraperitoneal heated chemotherapy (IPHC). Forty-two patients who had intraperitoneal disseminated malignancies were treated with cytoreductive surgery (CS…

Acute and chronic effects of intraperitoneal injection of two types of asbestos in rats with a study of the histopathogenesis and ultrastructure of resulting mesotheliomas
…approximately 40% mortality, within 8 days after the injection associated with acute peritonities. Tissue reactions to these two types of asbestos were significantly different. Crocidolite fibers were easily seen by light microscopy, in the tissue sections…

A comparative immunohistochemical study of peritoneal and ovarian serous tumors, and mesotheliomas
…However, since some PST do not stain for any of the three antibodies and the focal nature of positive reactions in some cases may be difficult to interpret, exclusion of mesotheliomas is enhanced by the use…
