Immunohistochemical expression of osteopontin in epithelioid mesotheliomas and reactive mesothelial proliferations.
The morphologic distinction of epithelioid mesothelioma from a reactive mesothelial proliferation can be difficult. Recent studies have demonstrated that serum osteopontin levels are increased in patients with mesotheliomas. We sought to determine if osteopontin expression is diagnostically helpful in distinguishing epithelioid mesothelioma from reactive mesothelial proliferations. We studied 7...
متن کاملExpression of mesothelial markers in malignant mesotheliomas: an immunohistochemical evaluation of 173 cases.
OBJECTIVE To see the distribution of Calretinin, thrombomodulin, CK5/6 and HBME-1 markers in various subtypes of mesotheliomas and extend the published data on this topic. The positivity of adenocarcinoma specific markers (CEA and BerEP4) in malignant mesotheliomas have also been evaluated. METHODS Various markers in 173 cases of malignant mesotheliomas received over a period of 8 years were ...
متن کاملThe diagnostic utility of p16 FISH and GLUT-1 immunohistochemical analysis in mesothelial proliferations.
Two promising ancillary tests used in the diagnosis of mesothelioma include GLUT-1 immunohistochemical analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing for the p16 deletion. This study compared the diagnostic usefulness of p16 FISH and GLUT-1 immunohistochemical analysis in the diagnosis of mesothelial proliferations in 158 cases with a diagnosis of benign (45.4%), atypical (10.4%...
متن کاملExtrathoracic mesothelial proliferations and their mimics.
Mesothelial proliferations, either reactive or neoplastic in nature, often pose difficult diagnostic dilemmas. Electron microscopy continues to be a gold standard in the identification of mesothelial differentiation. However, it is very common to apply long panels of antibodies for that purpose. In most cases, light microscopy and immunohistochemistry will solve the problem. However, the defini...
متن کاملDiagnostic and Biological Significance of Immunohistochemical Expression of Osteopontin and Ki67 in Fibro-osseous lesions of jaws
Background and Aim: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) and ossifying fibroma (OF) are the most important fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) of the jaws with similarities in radiographic and morphological features while showing completely different biological behavior. Limited studies have been evaluated immunohistochemistry markers, such as osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin to help differentiate these two lesion...
