Abstract

In this study we aim to demonstrate the value of monoclonal Caveolin 1 expression in distinguishing between malignant pleural mesothelioma and pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Total of 129 cases, consisting of 68 cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma (51 epitheloid, 12 biphasic, and 5 sarcomatoid type) and 61 cases of pulmonary adenocarcinoma were examined and stained with monoclonal Caveolin-1. Caveolin 1 expression with a membranous and /or cytoplasmic pattern was detected only in 32.35% (n:22/68) of malignant pleural mesothelioma and 6.5% (n:4/61) of pulmonary adenocarcinoma cases. This finding suggests that the choice of poly/monoclonal antibody for Caveolin 1 in the differential diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma and pulmonary adenocarcinoma is important.

    The original version of this article unfortunately contained an error in Fig. 1. Cav-1 expression in MPM and PA cases failed to show the histopathological details in Fig. 1 due to technical problem. The figure with the proper sharpness and clarity is shown in the next page.
