1.	Mesothelioma 10/01/1998 - "Among these, calretinin generated a great deal of interest, but the number of studies evaluating the practical use of calretinin immunostaining in the diagnosis of mesothelioma is limited, and the study results are controversial. " 03/15/2010 - "In epithelioid mesothelioma, mesothelial and epithelial stains were considered to be of similar importance, and calretinin was the most popular individual stain. " 10/14/2009 - "Histological examination showed proliferating malignant epithelioid cells that stained strongly for calretinin, which was compatible with malignant mesothelioma. " 03/01/2009 - "The utility of calretinin was first described in the diagnosis of mesothelioma. " 02/01/2009 - "RESULTS: Labelling for calretinin and lack of labelling for BG8 were sufficient for definite correlation with a diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma.

2.	Adenocarcinoma 04/01/2009 - "The aim of our study was to determine the value of a panel that consisted of one epithelial marker (MOC-31) and two mesothelial markers (D2-40 and calretinin) for distinguishing between reactive mesothelial cells (RMCs) and adenocarcinomas (ACs) in effusion fluids. " 08/01/2008 - "Only 3% (2/67) of adenocarcinomas were positive for calretinin, one being a lung adenocarcinoma and the other an adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site in an ascitic fluid. " 01/01/2008 - "All cases of the metastatic adenocarcinoma were negative for calretinin and D2-40. " 08/01/2003 - "However, the focal nuclear and cytoplasmic positivity with calretinin in two of three mesonephric adenocarcinomas suggests that this may be a useful indicator of a mesonephric origin of a cervical adenocarcinoma. " 11/01/2001 - "The profile of positive staining with at least one of the adenocarcinoma markers and negative calretinin staining is highly specific and sensitive for identifying adenocarcinoma in fluid cytology."

3.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 11/01/1997 - "CONCLUSION: Calretinin is a very useful marker for positive identification of normal and tumor mesothelial cells in serous effusions." 02/01/2005 - "Although CD99 and calretinin are often expressed in these tumors, they are much less specific and not as helpful in the differential diagnosis. " 07/01/2008 - "OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether immunohistochemistry for calretinin allows identification of cutaneous adnexal tumors with follicular differentiation towards cells of the outer root sheath. " 07/01/2008 - "[Immunohistochemical study of calretinin in normal hair follicles and tumors with follicular differentiation]" 11/01/2009 - "On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were found to be positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin, calretinin, and CD34, and this immunoreactivity was decreased at the tip. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 12/01/2008 - "Pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung expressing podoplanin and calretinin." 06/25/2008 - "Calretinin was positive in 100% of MMs, in none of the metastatic carcinomas, and in 94.9% of negative effusions. " 04/01/2006 - "RESULTS: No positivity for calretinin was observed in any case, while CK5 was focally expressed, in an isolated group of cells, in 1 of the 63 cases (1,59%) which corresponded to a high-grade carcinoma (grade 4 of Fuhrman). " 08/01/2004 - "All ovarian carcinomas and carcinoma cell lines tested were negative for calretinin. " 03/01/2002 - "Calretinin and Ber-EP4 appeared to be the best positive mesothelial and carcinoma marker, respectively. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Sex Cord-Gonadal Stromal Tumors (Sex Cord-Stromal Tumor) 02/01/2005 - "Calretinin is another positive marker for the sex cord-stromal tumors but has less specificity. " 04/01/2003 - "Recently, it has been reported that calretinin is expressed by sex cord-stromal tumors. " 10/01/2001 - "Using a polyclonal anti-calretinin antibody, we investigated the expression of calretinin immunohistochemically in nonneoplastic human ovaries and testes and ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs). " 10/01/2001 - "Expression of calretinin in human ovary, testis, and ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors." 05/01/2007 - "Currently, an immunohistochemical panel including inhibin-alpha and calretinin is considered most helpful in the differential diagnosis of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors.
