The Value of Antibodies 44-3A6, SM3, HBME-1, and Thrombomodulin in Differentiating Epithelial Pleural Mesothelioma From Lung Adenocarcinoma

The distinction between pleural mesothelioma and peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma involving the pleura continues to be a diagnostic problem in surgical pathology. In recent years, the use of various immunohistochemical markers to facilitate this differential diagnosis has become common. In this study, the value of monoclonal antibodies 44-3A6, SM3, HBME-1, and thrombomodulin is compared in the differentiation of these conditions. Fifteen...
