Diagnostic implications of podoplanin expression in peripheral nerve sheath neoplasms.
By using the D2-40 antibody, we have observed podoplanin expression in Schwann cells and perineurial cells. Podoplanin expression has not been well characterized in peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Because neoplasms of neural crest lineage, including peripheral nerve sheath and melanocytic neoplasms, may share histologic and immunohistochemical characteristics, we evaluated podoplanin and S-100 ...
متن کاملIntrathoracic Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor: Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Features
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare nerve sheath tumor derived from Schwann cells or pleuripotent cells of neural crest. Neurogenic tumors make about 10-20% of all mediastinal tumors. Incidence of MPNST is 0.001% in general population and 0.16% in patients with neurofibromatosis I (NF I). We report a case of 60 year female presenting with progressive cough and breathlessne...
متن کاملImpaired Pten Expression in Human Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumours
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) are aggressive sarcomas that develop in about 10% of patients with the genetic disease neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Molecular alterations contributing to MPNST formation have only partially been resolved. Here we examined the role of Pten, a key regulator of the Pi3k/Akt/mTOR pathway, in human MPNST and benign neurofibromas. Immunohistochemis...
متن کاملMalignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor in the Maxilla: Report of a Rare Case
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare malignant tumor that develops either from a preexisting neurofibroma or de novo. The cell of origin is believed to be the Schwann cell and possibly other nerve sheath cells. In this report, we describe a rare case of MPNST that arise from the socket of second left maxillary molar that has been already extracted in a young man. He was ref...
متن کاملPeripheral Nerve Sheath Tumours in Cattle
Samples of morbid bovine tissues obtained from slaughterhouse were submitted to histopathological examination. Neoplastic growth within the peripheral nerves was observed microscopically, with the presence of Antoni A and Antoni B patterns, and sporadically Verocay bodies. Additionally, immunohistochemical examination of the sections revealed positive reaction to vimentine, neuron specific enol...
