PAX8 reliably distinguishes ovarian serous tumors from malignant mesothelioma.
Ovarian serous neoplasms can have morphologic overlap with malignant mesothelioma. The distinction is clinically important, yet most studies have failed to identify immunostains that reliably distinguish these 2 tumor types. Recently, transcription factor PAX8 was shown to be a sensitive and relatively specific marker for Müllerian tumors. In addition, some studies suggest that h-caldesmon is s...
متن کاملThe clinicopathological significance of NAB2‐STAT6 gene fusions in 52 cases of intrathoracic solitary fibrous tumors
NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion drives STAT6 nuclear expression and is the pathognomonic hallmark of solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs). However, no study has systematically analyzed the clinicopathological features, STAT6 immunoexpression status, or the fusion variants of NAB2-STAT6 in intrathoracic SFTs. Fifty-two intrathoracic SFTs were retrieved to appraise histopathology, assess STAT6 immunoexpression,...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of a monoclonal anti-STAT6 antibody for solitary fibrous tumors: immunohistochemical analyses
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) have been shown to harbor the characteristic NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion. Some recent studies have suggested that STAT6 is a useful marker for the diagnosis of SFTs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of monoclonal anti-STAT6 in the distinction of SFTs from histologic mimics. The expression of STAT6 was evaluated in tissue microarrays and in who...
متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumors of the pleura.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare neoplasm of the pleura. Although an increasing number of case series have been reported in recent years, so far clinical behavior is still unpredictable. The following article presents a detailed review of the recent larger series of SFTP with particular attention to the clinical presentation, pathologic characteristics and...
متن کاملSolitary Fibrous Tumors and So-Called Hemangiopericytoma
We have reviewed the literature data regarding the spectrum of tumors including solitary fibrous tumor and hemangiopericytoma with special focus on definition of the disease, discussion of the criteria for malignancy, and the key elements of standard treatment of localized disease. We have discussed the emerging concepts on the tumor biology and the different systemic treatments (chemotherapy a...
