Mesothelioma Information

Accounting for approximately 10% to 15% of all mesothelioma cancer cells, sarcomatoid mesothelioma is the least common type of histological category.

Compared to epithelioid mesothelioma, sarcomatoid mesothelioma has an irregular cellular structure.  Sarcomatoid mesothelioma cells are typically oval, with a nucleus that is not as clearly visible when viewed under high magnification.  The irregular oval shaped cellular pattern associated with sarcomatoid mesothelioma is similar to the cellular pattern of a variety of other cancer types, including sarcomatoid carcinoma and sarcoma.
