Differential diagnosis between PMM and primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC), a high-grade serous carcinoma, may be difficult, and separating reactive mesothelial hyperplasia (RMH) from PMM can be even more challenging.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To help differentiate PMM from PPSC and RMH, we used immunohistochemistry to examine mesothelial-associated markers (calretinin, AE1\/AE3, CK5\/6, CAM5.2, D2-40, WT-1, HBME1, thrombomodulin), adenocarcinoma-associated markers (CEA, BerEP4, MOC31, ER (estrogen receptor), PgR, TTF-1, Claudin-4, Pax8), and malignant-related and benign-related markers (epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), desmin, GLUT-1, CD146 and IMP3), and FISH to examine for homozygous deletion of 9p21. We used formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks from 22 PMMs (M:F=18:4; subtypes: 16 epithelioid, 6 biphasic), 11 PPSCs and 23 RMHs.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seventeen of the mesotheliomas (four PMM from women) were classified as diffuse, while five were localised. Calretinin was 91% positive in PMM, but negative in PPSC (specificity, 100%). BerEP4, Claudin-4 and PAX8 were all 100% positive in PPSC (specificities, 100%, 95% and 95%, respectively, for excluding PMM). For distinguishing PMM and RMH, sensitivity for EMA in mesothelioma was 68%, while for IMP3 and GLUT-1 it was 64% and 50%, respectively, all with high specificities. FISH analysis revealed homozygous deletion of the 9p21 locus in 11\/13 PMMs, but in 0\/11 RMHs.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Calretinin and BerEP4 may be the best positive markers for differentiating PMM from PPSC.
