“…Most arise from the visceral pleura where they present as well-circumscribed pleural nodules or pedunculated neoplasms. That these tumours arise in the parietal pleura is documented, but they are three to four times less common 12. There are case reports in the foreign-language literature of more than 30 years ago that describe two pleural neurofibromas 13 14.…”

To the best of the authors' knowledge, localised neurofibromas have not been previously reported within the pleura. The presence of a bland spindle cell pleural neoplasm immunoreactive for CD34 may potentially be mistaken for a solitary fibrous tumour. While distinction is usually achieved on close attention to the histological features, staining with S100 protein, especially in small biopsies, should be considered to exclude a neurofibroma.

Serous effusion cytology is widely employed in the initial evaluation of the etiology of effusions with a high diagnostic sensitivity. To standardize practices, The International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytology (TIS) was developed following best international practices, the most up-to-date literature, and expert consensus. In the context of this system, ancillary techniques play an important role. Besides defining basic principles in laboratory specimen handling, adequacy criteria, and a standardized reporting terminology with five diagnostic categories, TIS provides an actionable framework for using immunohistochemical and molecular testing in effusion samples, namely, in atypical, suspicious of malignant samples. For diagnostic purposes, these tests may be employed to distinguish between a primary and secondary neoplasm, to confirm a diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma vs. reactive mesothelial hyperplasia, and to correctly classify and determine the primary location of a metastasis. Theranostic molecular tests may also be used for these samples to evaluate potential therapeutic targets. Pathologists play a central role in guiding this process by determining adequacy and selecting appropriate ancillary tests. The activity in this area of research should increase in the near future as new therapeutic targets are discovered and new drugs enter the clinical practice.
