Review
OBJECTIVE
Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of malignant epithelioid mesothelioma. It often involves the peritoneum, but also thoracic cases have been reported. The aim of the present review is to describe the demographic, clinical, radiological, and pathological features of such a rare variant of thoracic mesothelioma, and the state of the art regarding the therapeutic approaches currently available.
DATA SOURCE
English-language articles published from 1985 to June 2016, and related to thoracic deciduoid mesothelioma cases were retrieved using the Pubmed database.
STUDY SELECTION
The search terms were "mesothelioma," "thoracic mesothelioma," "epithelial mesothelioma," "pleural mesothelioma," and "deciduoid mesothelioma."
RESULTS
Forty-four cases included in 16 articles, published in the period under investigation, were analyzed in detail.
CONCLUSIONS
The mean age of the patients was 63 years, and the male to female ratio 1.7:1. Approximately 58% had exposure to asbestos, and 73% had a smoking history; familiarity was rarely reported. The most common anatomical site of origin was the right pleura, and the most frequent clinical manifestations were chest pain, dyspnea, cough, and weight loss. Thoracic X-ray and computed tomography were the imaging techniques most employed for diagnosis and surgical planning. The pathological diagnosis was obtained by examination of surgical or biopsy specimens in most cases. The best treatment strategy of deciduoid mesothelioma is a matter of debate; nevertheless a multidisciplinary approach is currently the best option for the choice of the adequate therapeutic scheme.

Experiments were performed to examine the trophic effects of progesterone (P) on the progesterone receptor (PR) and the maintenance of the deciduoma. Deciduomal reactions in response to artificial stimuli were induced in hamsters' uteri on the 4th (D4) day of pseudopregnancy (PSP). On and after the 8th day, PSP hamsters received P supplement (2mg; s.c.) daily. Histological observation revealed that the life span of the deciduoma was partially prolonged. The maintenance and regression of the deciduoma was heterogeneous. P was able to maintain the morphology of the cells at the mesometrial site (MS) on D12, whereas cells at the antimesometrial site (AMS) regressed. The cytosol progesterone receptor (cPR) concentration in cells of the MS was higher than that of the AMS on D10. The cPR in MS and AMS decreased drastically on D12. The nuclear PR (nPR) remained at a higher concentration in both tissues on D10 followed by a precipitous decrease. The deciduomal nPR in the AMS decreased at a faster rate. By day 12, the nPR in the MS was much higher than that in the AMS. These data show that P acts as a trophic hormone of the deciduoma. The maintenance of deciduoma is closely related to the presence of PR. Other mechanisms may exist for the heterogeneous responses observed at the MS and AMS.

Comparative Study
Enzymes adenosine deaminase (ADA) and 5-nucleotidase (5-'NT) are known to play active role in tissue/cell proliferation and differentiation. To validate this the two enzymes were studied in artificially induced deciduoma of rat and hamster. The deciduoma was induced by traumatizing one of the uterine horns of progesterone primed animals. Non traumatized horn served as control. The animals were later maintained on progesterone, given alone (Gr.I) or conjointly with estrogen (Gr.II). The weight of each uterine horn was recorded to determine the formation of deciduoma. There was no marked difference between the weights of traumatized and control horn on day 2 post-traumatization (PT), but a progressive rise was noticed after this day in both species. The ADA activity however differed, day and species wise. While in the rats of Gr.I it was low in the traumatized horn on all the days, in the hamsters it was remarkably high from day 2 to 6 PT. In the rats of Gr.II also the activity though was low in the traumatized horn, but on day 2 and 4 only; on day 6 and 7 PT it increased markedly. In hamster, on the contrary, again the enzyme activity was remarkably high on all the three days. The 5'-NT activity, however, did not show any marked difference between the two horns under Gr.I and II in both species. It was rather high in the control horn of each group. The results suggest: (I) the progesterone alone though produces a significant rise in the uterine weight of traumatized horn in both species, the ADA activity increases only in hamster, (2) under the conjoint treatment also the enzyme activity remains high in hamster; and (3) the activity of enzyme 5'-NT does not alter during the deciduoma formation in both the species.

Ectopic cervical deciduosis is generally an accidental finding during pregnancy, and usually presents without any symptoms or need for therapeutic intervention. However, it can sometimes imitate dysplasia or carcinoma. We report a case of a 34-year-old G2P0, with a history of cervical dysplasia, presenting at 11 weeks of gestation, with vaginal blood loss. During examination, lesions mimicking dysplasia were found on the cervix. Histological examination reported cervical deciduosis. Deciduosis is a benign change during pregnancy and will resolve spontaneously. With the increasing use of cytology and colposcopy, the reported incidence is growing. When it is hard to differentiate between dysplasia and deciduosis, histological confirmation should be considered.

In female rats given a single injection of 1.25 mg 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone during neonatal life, reactivity of the vaginal mucosa to hormones was permanently altered, so that the rats, when adult, could show vaginal cornification under the hormonic conditions supportive of development of deciduomata in the uterus.
