Anatomic Pathology / CALRETININ DIFFERENTIATES SCHWANNOMAS FROM NEUROFIBROMAS
We studied 25 cases of schwannoma and 42 cases of neurofibroma immunohistochemically with antibodies to calretinin and S-100 protein to explore the potential usefulness of calretinin in differentiating schwannomas from neurofibromas. Of 25 schwannomas, 24 (96%) showed moderate to strong staining for calretinin, with the extent of staining ranging from focal to diffuse. In contrast, only 3 (7%) ...
متن کاملPreliminary study regarding the utility of certain immunohistochemical markers in diagnosing neurofibromas and schwannomas.
The present study shows the histopathological and immunohistochemical aspects encountered in 49 benign tumors with neural origin diagnosed in the Pathology Department of the Emergency County Hospital of Craiova between 2000 and 2007. Histopathological criteria were used for the histopathological diagnosis, having been diagnosed 22 neurofibromas and 27 schwannomas. Histopathological examination ...
متن کاملhow useful is the agnor staining method for the diagnosis of salivary gland tumors?
conclusions the agnor technique can be used to diagnose salivary gland tumors. results the chi-square test showed significant differences between tumor types and the numbers of agnors (p = 0.000) and between tumor types and areas of agnors (p = 0.000). objectives the purpose of this study was to determine the numbers and mean areas of the agnor dots in the 3 most common salivary gland tumors. m...
متن کاملDiagnostic utility of p63/P501S double sequential immunohistochemical staining in differentiating urothelial carcinoma from prostate carcinoma
BACKGROUND Distinguishing urothelial carcinoma (UC) from prostate carcinoma (PC) is important due to potential therapeutic and prognostic implications. However, this can be a diagnostic challenge when there is limited tissue and in poorly differentiated tumors. We evaluated the diagnostic utility of a dual immunohistochemical stain comprising p63 and P501S (prostein), applied sequentially on a ...
متن کاملInhibin is more specific than calretinin as an immunohistochemical marker for differentiating sarcomatoid granulosa cell tumour of the ovary from other spindle cell neoplasms.
AIMS To describe a case of recurrent sarcomatoid adult granulosa cell tumour (AGCT) of the ovary and to evaluate the usefulness of two ovarian sex cord stromal markers (inhibin and calretinin) in separating sarcomatoid AGCT from true sarcomas. METHODS A 72 year old woman presented with a recurrent sarcomatoid AGCT in the sigmoid colon mesentery, which histologically mimicked a malignant gastr...
