Cytogenetic findings in an effusion secondary from pleural mesothelioma.
Cytogenetic analysis was performed on cells from pleural effusion secondary to an epithelial mesothelioma. Although chromosomal findings (pseudodiploid stemline, including marker chromosomes involving chromosomes #1, #3, #5, and #6) suggested the neoplastic origin of the effusion, routine cytologic diagnosis was negative.
