Four cases of small cell carcinoma characterized by a striking involvement of the pleural sheets were investigate. Histologically, the tumors were composed of small epithelial cells, expressing carcinoembryonic antigen and occasionally neuroendocrines markers. Our findings indicate that small cell carcinoma should be added to the group of pseudomesothelioma.

Abstract
Four cases of small cell carcinoma characterized by a striking involvement of the pleural sheets were investigate. Histologically, the tumors were composed of small epithelial cells, expressing carcinoembryonic antigen and occasionally neuroendocrines markers. Our findings indicate that small cell carcinoma should be added to the group of pseudomesothelioma.File in questo prodotto:
