The pathologist who sees specimens from lesions of the serosal
membranes (pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, and tunica vaginalis)
is well aware that these cases, whether in the form of fluid
cytologies, small biopsies, or major resections, pose differential
diagnostic problems that are among the most difficult in anatomic
pathology. The main problems involve the separation of malignant
mesothelioma from benign mesothelial processes on the one hand and
other malignant tumours (particularly primary and metastatic
carcinomas) on the other. With these differential diagnoses in
mind, the authors concentrate on the cytopathologic and
histopathologic features of diffuse malignant mesothelioma, its
many variants, and the other benign and malignant lesions to be
distinguished from it. Histochemical, immunohistochemical,
ultrastructural and molecular features of potential use in this
differentiation are discussed and illustrated. Common differential
diagnostic problems and their solutions take precedence, but all of
the known benign and malignant lesions of serosal membranes are
covered, with copious illustrations and the latest available
references. Epidemiologic, pathogenetic, clinical, radiographic and
gross pathologic features are integrated with the discussions of
these entities. This will be the most complete source available on
this topic for years to come.
