Here, we report a patient with deciduoid type malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), which rapidly progressed. A 55-year-old man who might have been exposed to asbestos a few decades ago had severe back pain. The chest X-ray scanning and computed tomography (CT) revealed pleural thickness on his right thoracic space, without the presence of a lung mass. A pleural biopsy was performed and the patient was histologically diagnosed with deciduoid type MPM. Although he received two cycles of chemotherapy, his disease rapidly progressed and he died within two months of the diagnosis of deciduoid type MPM.

Leiomyomas are common hormone-responsive uterine neoplasms which can exhibit a variety of morphologic changes secondary to hormonal agents such as progestogens. They may increase in size during pregnancy as a result of hormonal stimulation but surprisingly the morphologic features of leiomyomas in pregnancy are not well described in the literature. In this report, we describe the morphologic features of a series of 29 uterine leiomyomas in pregnancy.

Introduction: Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm arising from serosal lining and has a poor prognosis. Definite diagnosis requires confirmation through a biopsy; however, it is sometimes difficult on microscopic evaluation alone and requires the use of a wide panel of immunohistochemical markers. So, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is of paramount importance and must be routinely used for a definite diagnosis.

Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. Malignant rhabdoid tumors, renal medullary carcinoma, and some synovial sarcomas show a loss of SMARCB1/INI1 protein, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. All of those tumors are known to have rhabdoid cells.
