Sarkomatoidt mesoteliom - en diagnostisk udfordring
Sammanfattning
This is the case of a 62-year-old carpenter in whom a computed tomography showed a widespread »mesotelioma-like" tumour of the pleura. Needle biopsy and later autopsy showed malignant sarcomatoid tumour. The tumour stained negatively for calretinin and other »mesotelial markers". Diagnosis has important legal implications for the relatives, we therefore find it important to stress that sarcomatoid mesotelioma is usually calretinin-negative.
