Sažetak
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an agressive neoplasm with an increasing incidence rate. MPM has a delayed onset of symptoms, and diagnosis is often challenging because of the difficulties in the differentiation of the benign and malignant lesions. CT (Computed tomography) is used for imaging assessment of mesothelioma, while biopsy and histopathology give the definitive confirmation of the MPM. Cytology analyis of the pleural effusion with two immunocytochemistry markers in favor of MPM and two excluding the diagnosis are sufficient to diagnose MPM. The aim of this review is to summarize recent diagnostic methods in MPM diagnosis.
