The register of malignant mesotheliomas can still play an informative role in the context of both remediation activities and the health surveillance of former asbestos-exposed persons, and become an epidemiological surveillance system on the harmful effects of exposure to asbestos. It must, however, maintain and improve the level of quality achieved, resolve the problems that have emerged in the interaction between the local level (where cases and their exposure histories are identified, registered, assessed, and medical insurance procedures activated) and the central insurance body that also manages the national register, and become an active participant in research, including clinical research...

OBJECTIVE: Establish the disease burden of malignant mesothelioma (MM) in Colombia between 2015 and 2020, and its association with the subnational sociodemographic development index (SDI) and with asbestos sites. METHODS: Mixed ecological study of the Colombian population diagnosed with MM (according to ICD-10) from 2015 to 2020. The global burden of disease (GBD) was estimated using the methodology proposed by Murray and Lopez, based on prevalence and mortality data obtained from official sources...

OBJECTIVE: Pleural mesothelioma is a neoplasm almost exclusively attributed to occupational exposure to asbestos and is legally considered an occupational disease. Nevertheless, only a few cases achieve that official recognition. The objective of this work was to describe and analyse this issue, and to identify the major obstacles to its recognition. METHODS: A descriptive and retrospective epidemiological study of data was carried out, including figures and some characteristics, of all patients with pleural mesothelioma registered in the official health and labor registries of the Valencian Community from 2012 to 2018, using frequencies, proportions, and incidence rates...

More than 30 years have passed since the beginning of the epidemiological surveillance of mesothelioma (MM). The Italian National Mesothelioma Register (ReNaM), part of the research department of the National Institute for insurance against industrial injuries (INAIL), has published 7 reports with the description of the cas-es concerning the assessment of diagnoses and exposures to asbestos suffered mainly during working activities but also environmental, in the family premises and during personal activities...

BACKGROUND: the relationship between past asbestos exposure and the onset of malignant mesothelioma (MM) is well established. However, defining the exposure is not always easy, as it occurs decades before the onset of the disease. OBJECTIVES: this report describes four cases of MM diagnosed in two different married couples, both exposed to asbestos fibers: husbands at work and wives for cohabiting and washing their work overalls. DESIGN: case report...

Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) adjunct to surgery for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) has no definite role. The primary objective of this pilot-trial was to evaluate the feasibility for future large studies. The study design was a prospective randomized three-centric pilot trial. We recruited patients diagnosed with MPM and prospectively assigned them to two groups: Group A: Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) talc pleurodesis or Group B: Video-assisted P/D plus HITHOC. From November-2011 to July-2017 24 males and 3 females, with a median age of 68-years were enrolled (recruitment rate 5 patients/year)...

INTRODUCTION: Long-term follow-up course for patients with idiopathic pleural effusions has not been established. METHODS: From October 2013 to June 2021 all patients with idiopathic effusion were prospectively followed up with clinical examination and imaging at 1,3,6 and every 6 months for a minimum of 1 year. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients were diagnosed with idiopathic effusion and followed up. Mesothelioma was detected during the follow-up in two patients at 7 and 18 months, one of whom had blood-tinged pleural fluid and the other reported a 10% weight loss...

Extrapleural pneumonectomy, usually associated with pericardial and diaphragmatic reconstruction with prosthetic material, is one of the surgical techniques used in the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Herniation of the abdominal viscera towards the thorax through the prosthetic material at the diaphragmatic level is a rare but potentially serious complication of these procedures, which must be diagnosed quickly for urgent repair. We present the case of a patient who presented with gastric herniation in the early postoperative period of a left pneumonectomy due to pleural mesothelioma...

Well Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma (MPBD) is a very rare neoplasm that mainly affects women of reproductive age. The most common location is the peritoneum and it is an incidental finding, with a generally favorable prognosis. We present three cases diagnosed incidentally, in the course of a surgical intervention of various causes, which presented as peritoneal exophytic lesions not detected in the pre-surgical imaging study. It is important to keep this entity in mind, to differentiate it from other neoplasms with an unfavorable prognosis and evolution, such as Malignant Mesothelioma or primary and metastatic carcinomas...

OBJECTIVE: In the event of suspicion of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) progression, imaging plays an important role. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in monitoring disease progression by comparing it with CT, and estimate median overall survival (OS) according to progression status with CT and 18 F-FDG PET/CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was an observational, retrospective, single-institution study with MPM patients who had both 18 F-FDG PET/CT and CT for monitoring disease progression from March 2009 to February 2020...

Deciduoid mesothelioma is an uncommon histological variant of epithelial mesothelioma which is extremely clinically aggressive. We report 3 cases of pleural caducoid mesothelioma in women of 75, 74 and 23 years of age. All patients presented with dyspnoea, vomiting and pelvic pain. Their imaging studies showed nodular pleuropericardic thickening, a parietal pleuropericardic solid mass and a large thoracic mass, respectively. Only one of them could be treated with chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. Post diagnostic survival was 24 days, 1 month and 17 months respectively (mean 6...

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a neoplasm involving mesothelial cells of the pleura. Both local and distant metastases may develop, although the latter are less common and it is extremely rare for cutaneous metastases to appear as a solitary lesion on the scalp. We present the case of a 54-year-old woman with a 2-year history of unresectable left pleural mesothelioma treated with chemotherapy, who had developed a painful lump on the scalp one month prior to consultation. Skin metastases of mesothelioma must be differentiated from primary neoplasms, and immunohistochemistry is fundamental to determine the origin of such lesions, which can be correctly identified through the use of a panel of markers...

The diagnosis of diffuse pleural mesothelioma requires in most cases a pleural biopsy, performed either under imaging guidance (ultrasound or computed tomography) or thoracoscopy. Loss of BAP1 or MTAP expression (immunohistochemistry) and homozygous deletion of CDKN2A (fluorescence in situ hybridization) are the basic molecular markers for the diagnosis of mesothelioma. The histologic type and patient's performance status are the most important prognostic factors. Pleural effusion can be managed by the insertion of tunneled pleural catheters, either as a stand-alone measure (e...

The pathological diagnosis of diffuse pleural mesothelioma (DPM) contributes to treatment selection and clinical trials interpretation. To know its characteristics and evaluate the viability of comprehensive pathological diagnosis of DPM in Argentina we did a retrospective descriptive study of DPM cases reported from 2009 to 2018. We analyzed 398 cases corresponding to 238 (60%) men and 160 (40%) women, median age 66 years, from surgical biopsies (78%), small biopsies (16.5%) and surgical resections (5.5%)...

Carcinoma of the rete testis is a rare malignant tumor which frequently occurs in middle-aged to older patients and has an aggressive biological behavior. We present the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with an ill-defined mass in the right testicle. The patient underwent a radical orchidectomy. Microscopic evaluation showed a neoplasm displaying a complex papillary-cystic architecture, infiltrating the testicular parenchyma. An in situ proliferation of neoplastic cells, with nuclear stratification and scanty cytoplasm was seen at the periphery, within the channels of the rete testis...
