Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant Deciduoid Mesothelioma (MDM) is an extremely rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. It was first described in young females, in the peritoneum, and its relation with asbestos was not well defined. Later reports, have shown that this variant may also occur in the pleura, the pericardium and the tunica vaginalis of elderly people, who had been exposed to asbestos. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of malignant deciduoid mesothelioma that occurred in the peritoneal cavity, and the omentum of a 35-year-old woman. The patient had never been exposed to asbestos. CONCLUSIONS Through this observation, we describe clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings of deciduoid mesothelioma, and review the literature reports.

Abstract
This report highlights a diagnostically challenging case of diffuse deciduoid mesothelioma occurring in the peritoneum of a 25-year-old woman, 8 months postpartum. Optimally debulked tumor consisted of sheets of polygonal cells arranged in solid, trabecular, and pseudopapillary configurations, with vesicular, occasionally grooved nuclei and small nucleoli. A barrage of immunohistochemical stains revealed an unusual staining pattern characterized by diffusely positive keratin, WT-1, and mesothelin staining, but lack of calretinin positivity. Electron microscopy demonstrated only rare thin, long, branching cellular projections. Cytogenetics revealed balanced translocations of 12p and 1q and 16p. Based on compiled ancillary studies, a diagnosis of deciduoid mesolthelioma was made and supported by consultations from experts at 3 outside facilities. Twenty-seven months after diagnosis, the patient is alive and undergoing treatment with progression of disease. This case is presented in detail, and a discussion of the diagnostic criteria and current application of those criteria is provided.

Deciduoid mesothelioma of the thorax: A comprehensive review of the scientific literature. CLINICAL RESPIRATORY JOURNAL 2017; 12:848-856. [PMID: 28026144 DOI: 10.1111/crj.12599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2016] [Revised: 11/25/2016] [Accepted: 12/20/2016] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of malignant epithelioid mesothelioma. It often involves the peritoneum, but also thoracic cases have been reported. The aim of the present review is to describe the demographic, clinical, radiological, and pathological features of such a rare variant of thoracic mesothelioma, and the state of the art regarding the therapeutic approaches currently available. DATA SOURCE English-language articles published from 1985 to June 2016, and related to thoracic deciduoid mesothelioma cases were retrieved using the Pubmed database. STUDY SELECTION The search terms were "mesothelioma," "thoracic mesothelioma," "epithelial mesothelioma," "pleural mesothelioma," and "deciduoid mesothelioma." RESULTS Forty-four cases included in 16 articles, published in the period under investigation, were analyzed in detail. CONCLUSIONS The mean age of the patients was 63 years, and the male to female ratio 1.7:1. Approximately 58% had exposure to asbestos, and 73% had a smoking history; familiarity was rarely reported. The most common anatomical site of origin was the right pleura, and the most frequent clinical manifestations were chest pain, dyspnea, cough, and weight loss. Thoracic X-ray and computed tomography were the imaging techniques most employed for diagnosis and surgical planning. The pathological diagnosis was obtained by examination of surgical or biopsy specimens in most cases. The best treatment strategy of deciduoid mesothelioma is a matter of debate; nevertheless a multidisciplinary approach is currently the best option for the choice of the adequate therapeutic scheme.

Abstract
Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. We experienced the case of a 73-year-old man with asbestos exposure who was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma with deciduoid features. He received chemotherapy containing six cycles of cisplatin and pemetrexed and survived for twenty-five months after the diagnosis. At autopsy, the final diagnosis was biphasic pleural mesothelioma. Cells with deciduoid features had mostly disappeared, and spindle cells markedly proliferated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first autopsy case of malignant pleural mesothelioma with deciduoid features that exhibited a response to chemotherapy.
