title: Cytogenetic findings in an effusion secondary from pleural mesothelioma.
abstract: 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.
