Malignant mesothelioma in infancy is extremely rare. A postmortem examination of a 19-month-old infant revealed a massive malignant epithelial mesothelioma, confirmed by histochemical and electron microscopic analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pediatric Pathology
  • Electron Microscopy

Background:

  • Malignant mesothelioma in infancy is exceptionally rare, with limited case reports in medical literature.
  • This study presents a detailed postmortem examination of a rare case of infant malignant mesothelioma.

Observation:

  • A 19-month-old female infant presented with a massive malignant epithelial mesothelioma of the pleura.
  • Histochemical analysis revealed tumor acid mucosubstance sensitive to hyaluronidase.
  • Periodic acid-Schiff staining showed diastase-sensitive positivity in tumor cells, indicating glycogen accumulation.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of malignant epithelial mesothelioma was confirmed through histochemical and electron microscopy.
  • Electron microscopy revealed significant intracellular glycogen accumulation within the tumor cells.

  • No asbestos exposure history was available for the infant.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the scarce literature on infant malignant mesothelioma.
    • The findings highlight the utility of histochemical and ultrastructural studies in diagnosing rare pediatric tumors.
    • Further research is needed to understand the etiology and optimal management of malignant mesothelioma in infants.
