Somatostatin receptors in human adrenal gland tumors--immunohistochemical study.
Somatostatin receptors subtypes (SSTR 1-5) were demonstrated in surgically obtained adrenal gland tumors by means of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results of the present study demonstrate that somatostatin receptors are expressed in adrenal tumors in a varied manner which is specific in each case. It provides different diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.
متن کاملMolecular pathology of adrenal cortical tumors: separating adenomas from carcinomas.
Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare but interesting endocrine tumor. Its diagnosis is usually straightforward using morphologic assessment and supplemental immunohistochemistry. However, diagnostically challenging cases exist and pathologic evaluation would benefit from the availability of adjunctive molecular testing. Here, the relevant molecular pathology of adrenal cortical tumors is review...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical detection of angiotensin receptors AT1 and AT2 in adrenal tumors.
Angiotensin II is well known to affect the adrenal cell growth and function. Angiotensin receptors AT1 and AT2 were found to be present in the normal adrenal gland. However, the data on the expression of the angiotensin receptors in the adrenal tumors are very scarce. To overcome this gap, the paraffin sections of the adrenal cortical tumors and of pheochromocytomas from the archival material w...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical detection of FSH receptors in pituitary adenomas and adrenal tumors.
OBJECTIVES Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) receptors (FSHR) are physiologically expressed in the ovary and testis. It is well known that FSHR are also expressed in gonadal cancers, but the data on their incidence in extra-gonadal tumors are scarce. Recently, the expression of FSHR in the vascular endothelium within different human cancers was found, but nothing is known on FSHR appearance in...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical diagnosis of Krukenberg tumors.
The diagnosis of Krukenberg tumors, as in other types of metastatic tumors of unknown primary origin, can often be a challenge for clinicians. In many cases, traditional diagnostic methods are insufficient, requiring immunohistochemistry analysis for identifying the origin of metastatic tumors. In our study, we examined a total of 34 female patients with Krukenberg tumors with different sites o...
