Two malignant pleural mesotheliomas with unusual histological features.
Morphologically, mesotheliomas may be composed of epithelial and/or sarcomatous elements with various patterns, such as tubular, papillary, tubulopapillary, and diffuse epithelial or mixtures of these. Two cases are descirbed in which, in addition to typical mesothelioma, there was cartilage with foci of calcification and ossificated with the mesothelioma, which suggested that they formed an in...

متن کاملFundus dystrophy with unusual features; a histological study.
IN an earlier communication (Sorsby and Mason, 1949), an account was given of a fundus dystrophy observed in five families, which showed onset at about the age of 40, dominant inheritance, and a progressive course. The earliest ophthalmoscopical reactions in this affection are a central retinal lesion showing oedema, haemorrhage, and exudates. Subsequently, there is considerable scarring, with ...
متن کاملCytotoxic T Cells in PD-L1-Positive Malignant Pleural Mesotheliomas Are Counterbalanced by Distinct Immunosuppressive Factors.
PD-L1 immunohistochemical staining does not always predict whether a cancer will respond to treatment with PD-1 inhibitors. We sought to characterize immune cell infiltrates and the expression of T-cell inhibitor markers in PD-L1-positive and PD-L1-negative malignant pleural mesothelioma samples. We developed a method for immune cell phenotyping using flow cytometry on solid tumors that have be...
متن کاملGenomic Landscape of Malignant Mesotheliomas.
Understanding the genomic landscape of malignant mesothelioma may identify novel molecular drivers of this ultra-rare disease, which can lead to an expanded roster of targeted therapies and clinical trial options for patients with mesothelioma. We examined the molecular profiles of 42 patients with malignant mesothelioma (including pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial) that were referred by cli...
