A case of pleural mesothelioma with immunohistochemical staining positive for Krebs von den Lungen-6
A 71-year-old male visited a hospital with a chief complaint of exertional dyspnea. A chest CT revealed multiple nodular lesions on the parietal pleura. Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy was performed resulting in a diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma with epithelioid type. When chemotherapy was initially initiated, his serum level of Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) was high. However, once chemotherapy was started, the serum KL-6 level gradually decreased with tumor shrinkage. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the expression of KL-6 from the tumor cells. This is the first report of KL-6 production directly from tumor cells in epithelial-type pleural mesothelioma.
