Results of routine IHC testing were recorded for each case.

Seven (14%) demonstrated loss of BAP1 staining, 40 retained BAP1 staining, 1 had heterogeneous staining, and 2 had insufficient cells for analysis. All seven cases with BAP1 loss were diagnosed with MPM on follow\u2010up. Of those with retained BAP1, 52.5% (21) were subsequently diagnosed with MPM, while 40% (16) had non\u2010MPM diagnoses after a median follow\u2010up of 24\u00a0months. Three cases were not further investigated based on patient and clinician decision.

Even in a tertiary centre with clinical interest in the cytological diagnosis of MPM this investigation was able to increase diagnostic accuracy beyond routine IHC studies. Cytological criteria remain valuable, as retained BAP1 in an atypical or suspicious mesothelial proliferation cannot exclude malignancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cyt.13015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]],"date-time":"2021-05-25T15:57:06Z","timestamp":1621958226000},"page":"84-92","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Diagnostic utility of BAP1 for malignant pleural mesothelioma in pleural fluid specimens with atypical morphology"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6145-0393","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amber","family":"Louw","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical Pathology PathWest Laboratory Medicine QEII Medical Centre Nedlands WA Australia"},{"name":"School of Medical and Health Sciences Edith Cowan University Perth WA Australia"},{"name":"National Centre for Asbestos Related Diseases University of Western Australia Nedlands WA Australia"},{"name":"Institute for Respiratory Health Nedlands WA Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Y.
