Abstract
The activation marker CD30 is useful in the diagnosis Hodgkin and non-Hodgk in lymphomas. It has also described in nonhematopoietic tumors, including p ancreatic carcinomas, salivary gland tumors, and embryonal carcinomas. We r eport a case of malignant mesothelioma with intense CD30 positivity. This f inding has not previously been described and is important in broadening the differential diagnosis of a CD30(+) cohesive large cell malignancy.
