Popis: Mesothelioma is often difficult to diagnose due to its rarity and its unusual histopathological features that could lend to diagnostic pitfalls and misdiagnosis. The WHO histological classification of pleural tumors in 2021 recommended a pathologic grading system for malignant pleural mesothelioma. Architectural aspects and cytological features, with nuclear grading, bent on a neoplastic score with fundamental prognostic and diagnostic value. Unusual features must be correctly assigned in the grading system to avoid misdiagnosis, especially toward metastatic lesions or reactive pleural processes. In this paper, we present two cases as examples of unusual morphological and architectural features with a brief literature review.
