Mesothelioid reaction following talc pleurodesis: a case report
…Such a mesothelioid reaction can clinically and radiographically mimic malignant mesothelioma. We conclude that Talc pleurodesis played a causative role in this patient developing an intense mesothelioid reaction. A mesothelioid reaction should be included in the…

Disseminated Pleural Siliconoma Mimicking Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
This case report from a thoracic surgery department in Ube, Japan, described one 48-year-old woman with multiple nodules on the lining of her left lung (the pleura). She had received silicone breast implants 10…

Can serum inflammatory parameters estimate outcome of pleurodesis in mesothelioma?
…be desirable. This study was aimed to investigate whether systemic inflammatory reaction induced by insuflation of talc into the pleura can predict the outcome of pleurodesis. A total of 58 consecutive patients (26 men, 32 women…

Ultrastructural histochemistry of mesotheliomas and adenocarcinomas in malignant effusions
…along the outer surface of the cell aggregates, while carcinomas displayed a positive reaction either on the outer surface or on both inner and outer surfaces of the clusters. The diagnostic significance of the above-mentioned…

Chronic mesothelial reaction and toxicity of potassium octatitanate fibers in the pleural cavity in mice and F344 rats
…which are morphologically similar to asbestos particles, were shown to induce severe proliferative reactions in the pleural mesothelium in a previous experiment carried out over 21 weeks. The present study aims to determine whether these fibers…

SV40 large T-antigen and human pleural mesothelioma. Screening by polymerase chain reaction and tyramine-amplified immunohistochemistry
…sequences. In this study, we screened 28 Belgian mesothelioma tumour samples for the presence of SV40 LTag-like DNA and its gene product by polymerase chain reaction amplification, using the SV.for3/SV.rev primer set…

Reactive mesothelial hyperplasia vs mesothelioma, including mesothelioma in situ: a brief review
This article was a review of how to tell reactive mesothelial hyperplasia, a benign reaction of the lining cells, from epithelial mesothelioma in biopsy tissue, and of the idea of mesothelioma in situ. It summarized the…

BAP1 Immunohistochemistry and p16 FISH in the Diagnosis of Sarcomatous and Desmoplastic Mesotheliomas
…help diagnose sarcomatous and desmoplastic mesotheliomas. These tumors can be hard to distinguish from organizing pleuritis, a benign reaction of the pleura. The authors tested tissue from 20 such pleural mesotheliomas, from 18 men and 2…

Simian virus 40 is present in most United States human mesotheliomas, but it is rarely present in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
…hamsters. In humans, SV40 has been detected in tumors of the first four types. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we tested 29 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (intermediate and high-grade), 25 posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders, and…

Pemetrexed-induced painful erythematous nodules in both legs in a patient with recurrent mesothelioma
…supported considering the reaction a drug-induced hypersensitivity. They reported her as the first patient described with such lesions while receiving pemetrexed for mesothelioma, adding a nodular form to the known skin reactions to this drug…

CAR T-cell therapy for lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma
…The review also described earlier studies. One was a University of Pennsylvania trial that treated four patients; one patient had a serious anaphylactic reaction. Others were the authors' own mouse experiments, in which giving mesothelin-targeted…

T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors can cause anaphylaxis in humans
…His blood tryptase was markedly raised, which the authors said confirmed anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. His IgG antibodies against mouse proteins rose after his earlier infusions, but tests for IgE antibodies against mouse serum proteins…

Keratin and epithelial membrane antigen immunoreactivity in nonneoplastic fibrous pleural lesions: implications for the diagnosis of desmoplastic mesothelioma
…EMA stained five of ten plaques and four of 11 lesions. Keratin also stained the fibrous reaction around six of eight metastases. Benign localized fibrous mesotheliomas and 16 fibrous lesions away from the pleura did not…

Immunohistological staining of reactive mesothelium, mesothelioma, and lung carcinoma with a panel of monoclonal antibodies
…but was present in most of the lung carcinomas. CEA seemed to be the single most useful marker in distinguishing carcinoma from mesothelioma in that a positive reaction for CEA would indicate carcinoma rather than mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma and environmental exposure
…Under the microscope, liver tissue was unchanged, and there was a foreign-body type granulomatous reaction with multinucleated giant cells. No signs of mesothelioma were seen in either the exposed or the control groups. The authors…
