Evaluation
When finding adenocarcinoma in pleural fluid in a female, and there is no other specimen, preferably perform immunostaining including PAX-8 and WT-1 to confirm a Müllerian tract origin. Also consider p53 to distinguish low-grade (wild-type staining) from high grade (aberrant staining) serous ovarian carcinoma.
