Thrombomodulin is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 575 amino acids (molecular weight 75 kD) with natural anticoagulant properties. It is normally expressed by a restricted number of cells, such as endothelial and mesothelial cells. In addition, synovial lining and syncytiotrophoblasts of human placenta also express thrombomodulin.1-3 Anti-thrombomodulin has demonstrated positivity in benign vascular tumors such as hemangioma and most malignant vascular tumors (Kaposi’s sarcoma and epitheliod hemangioendothelioma).1-2 Hence, anti-thrombomodulin serves as a sensitive marker for lymphatic endothelial cells and their tumors.1-2 There has also been recent interest in the use of anti-thrombomodulin as an immunohiostochemical marker for mesothelial cells and malignant mesotheliomas.3-8 Anti-thrombomodulin is immunoexpressed in a variety of other tumors including urothelial cell carcinomas.9,10
