Histological and Immunological Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) constitute the majority of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. They usually express a proto-oncogen protein called CD117 detected by immunohistochemistry. This study investigated the differentiation of GISTs as well as the risk of aggressive behaviors in GISTs from surgically-treated patients in university affiliated hospitals. Methods: The c...

متن کاملSarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma with mixed osteoclast-like giant cells and chondroid differentiation
The sarcomatoid variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare histologic variant comprising malignant spindle cells and typical HCC. The proportion of the spindle cell component varies; when the tumor fully consists of malignant spindle cells, it is difficult to distinguish from various primary sarcomas. The 2010 World Health Organization classification of gastrointestinal tract tumors cl...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) with Chondroid-Myxoid-Chordoid Features Mimicking Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma
Epithelioid gastrointesinal tumors (GISTs) are less likely to have c-kit gene mutations (and express CD117) than spindle cell GISTs. CD117 negative/c-kit negative GISTs can have platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFRα) gene mutations, overexpress PDGFRα protein and respond to imatinib mesylate. Many cases of CD117-negative/CD117weakly positive, c-kit mutation negative and PDGFRα mutation p...

Salivary gland tumors accounts for less than 1% of all tumors. Minor salivary gland tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...
