Abstract

Recently, claudin-4 (CL4) immunocytochemistry was reported to be useful for differential diagnosis in effusion cytology. We wondered whether CL4 might be useful for "single-shot" identification of metastatic carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of CL4 in effusion cytology.
