Miller and Wynn (15) were the first to suggest that peritoneal tumors may present features such as epithelial and embryonic fibroblasts of the relationship of these cells to
In 1924 (3) Article Robertson endothelioma of the pleura, probably the most comprehensive study of literature has been done before that time. At the time of this publication, or primary malignant pleural endotheliomas, of course, rarely is that Clarkson (17) in 1914, said the post-mortem examinations in 10 829 Munich, Germany, there were only two cases of primary endothelioma of the pleura, but could not find records of only 41 cases. Later
Robertson quotes Keilty (18), who reviewed the records of pathology at the University of Pennsylvania and found nine cases of primary endothelioma of the pleura in 5000 postmortem examinations.
Bayne-Jones (19) described a child 16 years of age with malignant pleural base, which Bayne-Jones thought he was the primary tumor cells lining the pleura and epithelial tumors, which he described as cancer of the pleura. Bayne-Jones believes that this tumor is not endothelioma or not arising from the lymphatic endothelium, but mesothelial cells and, therefore, was of epithelial carcinoma. In 1920, Du Bray and Rosson (20) proposed the term primary pleural mesothelioma. It is believed that the term pleural carcinoma, or endothelioma was not necessary, but the more appropriate term mesothelioma. In 1921, Eastwood, Martin (21) agreed that the term should be mesothelioma. Zeckwer (22) also uses the term mesothelioma in its report of 1928. The question of whether there is such thing as primary malignant endothelial originating from the pleura was discussed in detail by Robertson (3) in his seminal work, and rejected the idea that epithelial tumors of the mesothelium primary tumors thought These tumors tend to metastatic
Tumors of different origin. He thought the only sarcoma can be classified as primary malignant tumors, and all other types of growth of secondary tumors or metastases with implementations of the unrecognized, underlying malignant primary tumors in other locations. In 1931 Paul Klemperer and Rabin Coleman (23) published a report of five cases of the mountain. Sinai Hospital in New York, including one case in which the epithelial and mesenchymal characteristics. They thought that diffuse pleural tumors originated from the surface of the cells that line, mesothelium, and mesothelioma must be assigned, as suggested by others.
In 1933, S. Roodhouse Gloyne (24) considered it a number of cases of asbestosis, and said: "From the complications associated with asbestosis following were observed: (a) of abdominal cancer, (b) mitral stenosis, and (c) cerebral hemorrhage, and (g) of gallstone disease. There was a case of squamous cell cancer of the pleura. There is no evidence at present that it was in no way associated with asbestosis. "It is open to speculation about if they were the first cases of mesothelioma in workers exposed to asbestos!
Ewing (25) in 1940 expressed concern about the impact of chronic irritation or injury, and low grades of inflammation in the connective tissue changes occur in the pleura, and wondered if some of the cases of malignant pleural been associated with tuberculosis. Many of the previously reported cases had evidence of concomitant tuberculosis in several attacks of pleurisy the affected side. Chronic inflammation and injury as a cause of pleural changes were considered Ewing (25). Ewing's comments were reinforced excellent review of the literature and Aaron Andrea Saccone
Koblenz (26) of New York in 1943. The authors were able to identify 41 cases in seven series published between 1910 and 1938, the total number of 46 000 autopsies, or 0.09% of mesothelioma. They concluded their review of the case that some of these tumors have been misdiagnosed and have spread from other sites. Of course, the confusion in making a pathologic diagnosis will continue for many years. From 1960 to 1968, only half of the Canadian cases of mesothelioma in the death certificates can be confirmed by an expert panel (27).
Further evidence that these tumors originate in the mesothelium, rather than from the endothelium has been full and Murray (28) New York City in 1942. They used their research
tissue culture to support the idea that cancer cells are mainly due to mesothelial cells. His concept was so controversial histogenesis at the time his chief of pathology department requires them to publish a statement about his lack of faith in his paper.
Stoute later became a professor of pathology at Columbia University in New York. He was able to accumulate the pathological material of 156 mesothelioma in the period between July 1919 and June 1964. It was the largest series of one institution in the world in 1964 and in the same
Stout (29) later noted that, in retrospect, I know of a case associated with asbestosis.
Further confirmation of the theory of histogenesis Stout Postoloff came from Canada (30), entitled "pleural mesothelioma" which concluded that, in fact, mesothelioma can become malignant epithelial and sarcomatous both. He stressed the importance of the osteoid matrix on the histological features of mesothelioma. He also said his team found only seven consecutive autopsies mesothelioma 7878 for a period of 20 years between 1923 and 1942.
In 1946, Arnold Platt (31), a radiologist at the hospital in Newark, consider the radiological aspects of primary mesothelioma or endothelioma of the pleura. At that time, more than 200 authors have discussed and offered views on the essence of what is called at the time of primary mesothelioma or endothelioma of the pleura. Platt said that this was a very difficult diagnostic problem for pathologists, they questioned among
themselves as the type and origin of the tumor histology. At that time there were more than 30 different terms used to describe this clinical entity, including endothelioma, mesothelioma, cancer of endothelial cancer, pleural, primary papillary endothelioma of the pleura, adenoendothelioma, sarcoendothelioma, pleural Kaposi sarcoma, all cells spindle sarcoma, angiosarcoma, lipomyxosarcoma, giant sarcoma visceral pleura, sarcomatous malignant disease of the pleura, malignant tumors of the pleura, the mesothelial cell carcinoma, perithelioma, endothelioma, carcinomatodes,
lymphangioendothelioma, fibroendotheliosis pleura, proliferans lymphangitis, pleuroma, abdominal swelling and colloid tuberculosis, as lymphadenoma (32).
