Malignant epithelial cells may be detected in different specimens, by immunophenotyping using flow cytometry (FCM). CD326 (epithelial-specific antigen, clone Ber-Ep4) was used to identify cells, CD45 discriminate between leucocytes (positive for this antigen) and non-hematological (negative antigen), CD33 monocytes/macrophages. This combination is particularly useful effusions characterize large distinguish monocyte/macrophages (CD45+ CD33+ CD326-), mesothelial (CD45 ± (dim) - CD326-) +). We...
Background: Most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will be candidates for active treatment and 20 to 50% of patients treated organ preserving strategies recur within the prostate.

Non-idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) has been increasingly reported in the literature. Little is known about clinical relevance of PFFE and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) overlap; therefore, we sought to investigate clinical, radiological, pathological features patients with these two diseases. Five were identified, detailed characterization cases revealed a heterogeneous group terms treatment options. No mortality, acute exacerbations, or significant decline lung...
