Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is rare and difficult to diagnose. Its identification depends upon pathological investigation (cyto-histological assessment and immunohistochemistry) supported by clinical and radiological evidence. In the last decade, the standardization of diagnostic methods has become a major focus of debate among pathologists and clinicians. This has led to the writing of guidelines and recommendation for the diagnosis to achieve the goal of a standard diagnosis. In this article, a chronological view relating to the pathological diagnosis of MM is presented together with a review of guidelines and recommendations.
恶性间皮瘤（MM）较为罕见且难以诊断。其确诊依赖于病理检查（细胞组织学评估和免疫组织化学），并需临床和影像学证据支持。在过去十年中，诊断方法的标准化已成为病理学家和临床医生争论的焦点。这促使人们撰写诊断指南和建议，以实现标准化诊断的目标。本文呈现了与MM病理诊断相关的时间线观点，并对指南和建议进行了综述。
