VIM and neoplasm: Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament protein which is responsible for maintaining cell shape and integrity of the cytoplasm in mesenchymal cells but has also recently been associated with tumor cells when expressed at the cell surface (i.e., cell surface vimentin, (CSV)) presenting with enlarged nuclei, CD45+ and exhibiting cytoplasmic staining by cytokeratins 8, 18, and 19 and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) [15].
