Mesothelioma is often difficult to diagnose due to its rarity and its unusual histopathological features that could lend to diagnostic pitfalls and misdiagnosis. The WHO histological classification of pleural tumors in 2021 recommended a pathologic grading system for malignant pleural mesothelioma. Architectural aspects and cytological features, with nuclear grading, bent on a neoplastic score with fundamental prognostic and diagnostic value. Unusual features must be correctly assigned in the grading system to avoid misdiagnosis, especially toward metastatic lesions or reactive pleural processes. In this paper, we present two cases as examples of unusual morphological and architectural features with a brief literature review.

The aim of the work was to study the effect of additive concentration on changes in the adhesive and cohesive strength of bitumen. To evaluate the effectiveness of modifiers in the composition of binary and triple bitumen systems in relation to mineral fillers of two grades, the method of determination of the adhesive efficiency and thermodynamic calculations of adhesion and cohesion work were used. The following compounds were used as additives: synthesized from the oil refining waste and (waste sealing liquid).
