Vimentin is the major intermediate filament in various mesenchymal cells, including endothelial cells, fibroblastic cells, macrophages, Sertoli cells, melanocytes, lymphocytes, and ovarian granulosa cells. It is found in all types of sarcomas and lymphomas. Positive staining for vimentin occurs in cells of fibrosarcomas, liposarcomas, malignant fibrous histiocytomas, angiosarcomas, chondrosarcomas, and lymphomas. All melanomas and Schwannomas test positive for vimentin.
