* Proliferation spheres (cell balls) are solid with stromal cores in mesotheioma unlike carcinoma
* Mesothelial cells: peripheral condensed cytoplasm, vacuoles (intercellular windows)

* PsB in pleural and pericardial effusions are usually seen in malignant effusions - thyroid, ovary, lung etc.
* In peritoneal effusion however, PsB may be associated with benign mesothelial hyperplasia, endometriosis etc
* Not all ca. show cell balls- SCC, ILC, Signet ring ca
