Popis: Intra-nodal mesothelial cells are assumed to be indicative of metastatic mesothelioma. The invasion of benign mesothelial cells into lymph nodes is an extraordinary complication of different (mostly inflammatory) disorders involving the serosal cavities. In a cirrhotic patient with recurrent ascites, this report describes the first case of mesothelial cell spreading into lymphatic vessels, coexisting with non-malignant inclusions of mesothelial cells in multiple abdominal lymph nodes.
