1 Importance of mediastinoscopy, bilateral thoracoscopy, and laparoscopy in correct staging of malignant mesothelioma before extrapleural pneumonectomy  J.M. Alvarez, FRACS, T. Ha, MBBS, W. Musk, FRACP, P. Robins, FRACP, R. Price, FRACR, FRANZCR, M.J.

2 Figure 1 A, CT scan. Axial postcontrast image at the level of the pulmonary trunk bifurcation. Right-sided pleural effusion is present without discernible pleural mass. Left pleural surface is unremarkable. B, MRI scan. Coronal T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) through the carina. Right-sided pleural effusion is present; no discernible pleural mass is evident. Left pleura is normal. C, PET scan. Intense uptake along the right mediastinal pleura and right-sided effusion. The left pleura appears normal. D, Thin ribbons of malignant mesothelioma cells infiltrating between layers of collagen; in addition, surface mesothelial cells (not shown) show patchy foci of membranous staining to epithelial membrane antigen within enlarged, atypical mesothelial cells.
