Abstract

Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm with an incidence of approximately 1 case per million per year. It primarily affects individuals over the age of 60. The main risk factor for this condition is asbestos exposure, although other factors such as Simian virus 40, ERIONITE fiber exposure, and radiation-induced factors can also contribute. This case report presents the diagnosis of a 70-year-old female with Sarcomatoid-type Mesothelioma using IHC markers.
