Peritoneal mesothelioma is the second most common mesothelial neoplasm after pleural mesothelioma, accounting for approximately 6%\u201315% of cases. Due to its high morphological variability, often mimicking other lesions, mesothelioma remains a diagnostic challenge.\n                      <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic>\n                      homozygous deletion has been established as a highly accurate biomarker for differentiating mesothelioma from benign mesothelial proliferations. MTAP immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been proposed as a cheaper and more reproducible surrogate for\n                      <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic>\n                      homozygous deletion (HD) detected by FISH in pleural mesothelioma.

MTAP IHC was performed using antibody clone 2G4, and cytoplasmic positivity was evaluated using two different cut\u2010offs (1% and 30%). Agreement between IHC and FISH was assessed using Cohen's Kappa. A ROC curve analysis was performed to evaluate the overall diagnostic performance of MTAP IHC. McNemar's test was used to identify statistically significant discordance between the techniques, and a power analysis was conducted to confirm the adequacy of the sample size. Additionally, 14 benign peritoneal lesions were included as external controls and underwent both FISH and IHC. All control samples showed preserved MTAP expression and no\n                      <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic>\n                      deletion.\n                      <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic>\n                      HD was detected in 27\/39 cases. MTAP loss was observed in 13 cases, while the remaining 26 cases showed variable levels of MTAP positivity (15%\u2013100%; mean: 36.4%; median: 25%). Cohen's Kappa revealed a low, non\u2010significant concordance between MTAP IHC and\n                      <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic>\n                      HD (cut\u2010off 1%: Kappa\u2009=\u20090.091,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.462; cut\u2010off 30%: Kappa\u2009=\u20090.083,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.326).
