51 1. Sarcomatoid mesothelioma Positive mesothelial markers Calretinin : 5%-88% C 5.6 :13%; WT1:13%; thrombomodulin: 13% Cytokeratin KL1 95% > AE1/AE3 89% > CK5.6 28% Mesopath Positive mesenchymal markers CD 34 : 0% Bcl-2 : 0% Desmin : 0%-5% SMA : 60% Kushitani K. Pathol Intern 2008;58:75-83 KL1

53 2. Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung Mesothelial markers Calretinin 66,7% Epithelial markers CK 100% - EMA Mesenchymal markers Desmin: 0% SMA: 50% EMA

54 Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung There is no useful IH marker for differentiating sarcomatoid mesothelioma from sarcomatoid carcinoma Clinical history, lung tumour

55 3. Solitary pleural fibrous tumour Positive mesothelial markers CK 0% Positive mesenchymal markers CD 34 Bcl2

56 Solitary pleural fibrous tumour CD 34

57 4. Sarcoma Positive epithelial markers Cytokeratin less than 7%; weak and focal EMA : 10% Positive mesothelial markers Calretinin : 30 % WT-1 : 57% Positive mesenchymal markers

58 Sarcoma If tumour cells have diffuse positive results for CK, the tumour is probably mesothelioma If tumour cells are CK negative, the tumour is probably true sarcoma Combination of cytokeratins is the most useful panel for differentiating sarcomatoid mesothelioma from true sarcoma

59 Conclusion IHC is an essential tool for the diagnosis of mesothelioma Current markers Excellent sensibility and specificity for the distinction between MM and metastatic adenocarcinomas Lower accuracy for the distinction between epithelial MM and other epithelial tumours Weak accuracy for the diagnosis of sarcomatous MM Need of consensus or evidence-based guidelines
