Utility of BAP1, p16 and MTAP immunohistochemistry in cytological and histological samples of pleural mesotheliomas

Conclusions: Concordant BAP1, MTAP and p16 expression is found between cytological and corresponding histological samples, indicating that a reliable diagnosis of MPM can be made on cytology only. Of the three markers BAP1 and MTAP are most reliable in distinguishing malignant from reactive mesothelial proliferations
