Another interesting study is called, "Localized mesothelioma of the pleura: benign and malignant variants" by N Okike, PE Bernatz and LB Woolner - The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Vol 75, 363-372. Here is an excerpt: "Mesothelioma, even of the pleura alone, is a ubiquitous pathological designation. The diffuse variety is associated with an ominous prognosis. The localized mesothelioma generally has been assumed to be benign. A review of tumors from 60 patients with localized pleural mesothelioma seems to justify separation into benign (52 patients) and malignant (eight patients) variants. Histologic criteria are used primarily to make this division. No single clinical feature allowed preoperative predictability concerning benignity or malignancy, although extrathoracic osteoarthropathy was seen only with benign lesions (20 percent), usually those greater than 7 cm. Follow-up periods of as long as 24 years revealed recurrent tumor in only two of the 58 patients with benign lesions and revealed a survival curve identical to that of the general population. All of the patients with the malignant variety had recurrence or metastasis, and all but one...more

Another interesting study is called, "Mesothelioma: profile of keratin proteins and carcinoembryonic antigen: an immunoperoxidase study of 20 cases and comparison with pulmonary adenocarcinomas." - Am J Pathol. 1982 July; 108(1): 80–87 by J. M. Corson and G. S. Pinkus. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - The distribution of keratin proteins and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in 20 diffuse pleural malignant mesotheliomas and 20 adenocarcinomas of the lung was determined with the use of an indirect mmunoperoxidase method. Keratin proteins were identified in all of the mesotheliomas, with strong staining observed in 17 of the cases. Tumor cells of various histologic types (tubular, papillary, solid, and spindle) revealed staining for keratin proteins. A variety of staining patterns were observed, but the homogeneous pattern predominated, in either a diffuse (16 cases) or focal form (4 cases). CEA was usually absent (11 cases), but weak or equivocal staining was also observed (8 cases), and 1 case uniquely exhibited moderate staining for CEA. In contrast, adenocarcinomas of the lung usually stained weakly or negatively (18 cases) for keratin proteins and exhibited a...more
